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.

Ok - thanks all. I do the occasional project in there, so I want decent light, just don't want the hassle of get the whole shed properly wired in
just a normal fitting with a plug instead of wiring it into a switch etc
just put up a pendant with a big led bulb up plugged into the extension cord with an in-line switch.
I think this answers my question - sounds like I can just wire a standard bulb pendant onto a three pin plug rather than into a light switch on the wall.
Voltage (current?) is a total mystery to me - I wasn't sure if it would work / burn the shed down.

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?
