you all have some interesting insights/ideas/comments, thanks.
To the person that suggested I may be performing something illicit , simply not the case and am well aware of our " spys in the skies" tax guys that flyover every 2 years, not to mention the ground troops that come snooping around every 3-4 years.
Not worried about them, not trying to hide anything or try to get by with building something and not being inspected, etc.
The deal with the person here and the heat lamp to the chicken coop making it a livable space, we have several coops with obvious cords running heat lamps to ours.
Never has that been an issue, not even with our last newby appraiser, who came here from 3 states over. He was a real prick too, criticizing previous appraisers work/measurements etc
Def. not considered living spaces except perhaps chicken " condos" to us. 🐓🤨
We're very rural here though, farmers are the majority and we're zoned for ag.

In any event, we have a piece of equip. in the building , fwiw, that has dials, can't see the dials very well. Running a cord to a light to enable us to do the such is just not practical for several reasons. We do have two ovehead lights but they don't help to see those dials that are on the side of the equipment.
My S.O. has one of those headlamp deals too but we need something on the wall facing the dials, etc.
I'll just keep looking around on amazon, etc...hope to find something soon.
Thanks again folks!

There are motion activated lights, battery power, made to illuminate a closet, when you are needing to see what is there.

I have one and it does a great job.

Works great, until the batteries die, a few months at least.

thanks...yeah, that's what we prefer but trying to find a good strong one is the issue here with most of those since the wall where the light will be is 4-5 ft. away ....need something with strong flashlight capabilities.
may can find something I can put ON the equipment though that bends/adjusts...like a book/reading lamp if you will.
I use those ultimate lithium batteries in my game/other cameras, those buggers run circles around the typical alkalines , usually get ~4x more use out of them .

thank you ED but I decided to go with this, got 2...one to put on the wall and one to put on the equipment. Should be here Sat...so time will tell.
I like the magnetic aspect of it all since the equip. is stainless ( HOPE it will stick to this type of stainless steel ) but if not it has metal circular discs with adhesive backing to stick to any cabinet, furniture, closet, kitchen, etc.
It SHOULD equal a 60 watts, time will tell. If not I can use it elsewhere, where not as strong a light is needed, and continue my search for a stronger one.

just letting you all know the light works VERY well ! Using it for just minutes at a time I expect it to last a fair amount of time on a charge.
Odd thing though...had it plugged into a usb thing plugged into a wall socket...never saw the green " ready and done" light come on ( after about 2 hours) until I went to plug it into the usb on the computer, then the green light came on immediately so it was fully charged via the wall socket but just not showing it.
A quirk I suppose.
