New to this idea.
I want to add solar powered LED lighting inside the shed where I can switch off and on when I need lights. I'm mainly going to be storing my fishing stuff, some yard stuff inside this shed. When I move out though, I'm going to take the solar lighting set up with me anyway!! So any guides and help will be greatly appreciated!

I also would like to keep this as cheap as possible? The shed is also fairly small. Probably 8ft by 10ft.

You can't get any cheaper solar lighting than this:

im assuming you want to use it at night time.

i did a similar thing at my mothers place, simple 20w solar panel, deep cycle battery and 2 x 20w 12v globes and a couple of switches. I got the panel and globes from jaycar.

You should probably add some sort of charge controller, i didnt though.

What a great idea! How does the chlorine create light? Have to Google that.
