I am after some ideas about which LED’S, to use to light my garden shed, it has a 12v leisure battery in it to run stereo and the 3 strip led’s that are there at the moment, but need way more lighting in there, it’s only a “lad’s” shed and about 10’ X 10’ in size.
I know I will obviously need to keep an eye on the battery state/charge, and likely top up once a week or so, but it’s got settee in there just a chill out place that I need, I have brain damage that gives me anger issues, similar to PTSD.
Any help greatly appreciated, my brain damage was from being the victim of a DD, nothing to do with drugs etc, personally I don’t drink or smoke.

Have you considered a small solar panel to keep your battery topped up?? That might be the least expensive in the long run, coupled with a LED bulb from one of the big-box retailers.
Another trick is that if you paint the interior bright white, you’ll need far less light and perhaps even a good flashlight bouncing off the ceiling might be sufficient.
Even though I chill out in there, others also have the use of it, and I got out voted on colour, all BLACK, yep that really helps with the lighting, there is a double window at the back, has carpet inside as well, I have three solar panels, was thinking of putting these up and taking some readings over a week, it’s not really a hassle to recharge battery, only a case of running cable reel out once a week or how ever often.
I have a lot of 12v round led “disc” lights that I use on cars etc, so probably going to go that way as an experiment, I have invertors also, but I don’t want to put mains lecky in there as some hoodlums(read typical teenagers) also use it.

How does pointing a flashlight at the ceiling to illuminate the room and/ or using a Zebralight headlamp work with what you are trying to achieve?
No theft of your lights, use them elsewhere also, I do this myself

Use those “wall wash” floodlights that abound on Ebay. You can get them 12V or AC powered. The 10 watt ones are very cheap… and surprisingly well built.
