  • I need lighting in my shed, but know almost nothing about electricity. I have an extension cord I reel out to the house for the occasional power tool and I'd like to run the lights off the same power source.

    I was thinking of using LED strips with a mains power adapter (ebay special 'super bright' ones for a fiver). Has anyone used these? Are they bright enough to light a shed on their own?

  • I have a full length fluorescent tube sized led fixture in my garage that runs off a normal plug. I can find the model out if you want but I think it’s just a normal fitting with a plug instead of wiring it into a switch etc. It’s a lot of light and two would be unnecessary.

  • How much light? For putting bikes away a simple solar will do. For brighter light, there are some decent battery LEDs out there, both options have pir versions for ease of use. For super bright mains, just put up a pendant with a big led bulb up plugged into the extension cord with an in-line switch.

  • This should arrive today, I will report back on it's effectiveness.
