Hardest part if you are comfortable with basic wiring is getting power to your new location and you will have to run wire for that. If you have open attic access above where you want the light you can pull wire up the wall from an outlet or even across from an existing light fixture if it is wired hot. Adding a wall switch is a bit trickier I guess. If you are adding between the floors pulling the wire will be more challenging but not beyond you if you think it through. Some drywall or plaster work is likely in your future too though.
If you are not sure you are comfortable, or don't want to invest in all you will need one time to pull the wire, have an electrician do it. It should not be a major job.
They do sell all sorts of battery powered "puck" and tube LED lights now that you just switch or tap on and off when you need them. If you watch places like Big Lots they liquidate puck types made by places like Westinghouse and GE, 3-4 per pack for like $10. LEDs get brighter and brighter and with better color rendering indexes all the time. You just attach them with velcro or double face tape.

Look in art picture frame catalogs for those that currently have the best color availed. The tube ones are more expensive than the packages of button type I mentioned.

The nice thing about LEDs is they don't give off the heat that incandescent or even florescent bulbs do. This is a good thing in a closet.
