We just have electric run to the shed and just light bulb. We have a pull string to turn it on and off (just in case of wet hands).
It works well for us just being basic. We also have a panel heater to keep the chill off
and also an ip camera so make sure you have the right electrics and enough sockets in case you want to do anything like this in the future.

How about some solar powered lights?

I have this light and it's great http://www.powerbee.co.uk/solar-she...uperbright-led-solar-shed-light-ch-pir-9.html
My one has had a few problems with the battery draining though, however they have been helpful. They sent me a replacement battery about 2-3 months after I got it because I noticed it would only stay on for 30 secs. After the replacement battery it was fine for another 2 months and then it started doing it again so I sent it back and they're going to replace it for me.
It's excellent when it's working, I just unfortunately had a faulty one. I would definitely recommend it though. I turn it off most of the time and just switch it on when I want it, otherwise it'll be flicking on and off all evening because of the motion sensor. It's very bright, so that's great! I've tried about 3 or 4 other lights before this and they were all rubbish. I was fed up of recharging my rechargeable batteries constantly when I had other lights, and it'd cost a fortune to run off shop-bought batteries (plus it's terrible for the environment). Most other lights give off really rubbish light too, whereas this is perfectly good for my 6 x 5 shed

we will look in to the solar lights we have a few trees between our garden and next door so dont know if it will get enough sunlight to power it
My shed is in woodland and is partly shaded, and my solar light still works fine. I tend to clean out in daylight, so only need it on for nighttime feeding and checks, I leave it switched off when not needed so it's not triggered by movement. Mine is in my goats shed so they would trigger it on and off during the night if I left it on!

A friends Dad just put these in her new bunhouse.
I just have press battery ones that aren't so bright so I'd not recommend those.
