Hi Phil
Deffo on upgrading strip lights to LED it makes a great difference More like daylight I also use a LED headlight allowing hands free The one i use is a Runacc 7 led with 1700 lumens Which is very bright There is one on e bay at the moment @£13ish It works for me Cheers Ross

Using these for impromptu lighting with sometimes difficult access https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rechargeable-Magnetic-Wardrobe-Off-Portable-Cordless/dp/B072VR7Y5S?th=1 certainly not a whole answer but very effective in many situations as they have a broad soft light direction that you can get into awkward places. Only 4mm ish thick to let you place them into or around what you are working on, relatively inexpensive to give you additional light.
They just seem much more effective than most torches, but obviously it's not what they're sold for.
Edit, it's not that one but I'll get a link and update soon.
This one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Lighting-Rechargeable-Induction-Nightlight/dp/B07SSY69RJ about 9mm thick.

Get yer self some small 24"LED strips but have them on a cable rather than mounted then you can move them around as and when you need them. I have a clip under the bench to hang mine on and when I need them place them appropriately. They're virtually indistructable and can be put anywhere. I think you can even get battery/chrgable ones now but under the bike they're brilliant and more than powerful for what you need to do. Alternativly mount your lights on the side of the shed rather than the ceiling, no shadows and if you've lights up top, you'll be sorted!

Never thought of the last 2 solutions - I'll have a look
Thanks

The reason we wore lamps on our heads at the pit was it left both hands free and the light shines were you look. Head/Cap lamps cheap
and good on batteries. In fact the one I use most is very small and came free with a bike battery.
