I'm looking for a basic battery operated lamp for a storage shed that has no mains power.
Anyone got some suggestions for a nice bright one?

How much do you want to spend?

What sort of light do you need. Enough to move around the mower without tripping over for 30secs, enough to rebuild a mechanical watch for several hours or somewhere in between.
If you wanted a decent light and run time, I'd be getting a small solar panel (20w), and battery sized to the run time and some 12v led down lights. Let's say 3 down lights, 12w each for 3hrs. 3x1ampx3hours = 9ah of battery power, get double that capacity so you don't kill the battery.
If it's just so you can see enough to walk through get a solar shed light, $20. I've got one near the bins, cheap and cheerful, works on a sensor and still going after about 2years. Enough so you don't trip over, but not really enough to see to work in.
