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 have stripped and rebuilt bikes just by the light of my Lezyne Macro Drive pointed at the white ceiling of my shed, I would much prefer a 240v light but will see how this LED strip works out. It will mostly be for locking the bike up in the evening. I too run an extension lead out to my shed if I need power but I find it a faff. Doubt I could run permanent mains as it would need to cross a technically shared path.

Yes that's all good just pop a 3 amp fuse into the plug instead of the13 amp that is likely to be in . Also if using power out side make sure your sockets in the house are rcd protected or just get a rcd plug

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.
