thinking of battery operated stuff. What I think would work well is not
overhead lighting but side lighting, so that light wouldn't be shaded by
the shelves. Perhaps even "push lights". An alternative, albeit one that
needs power, would be rope lighting around the inside of the closet door
frame.

Community electrical codes in your town may have some standards for
closet lighting. In some, bare bulbs in china fixtures which used to
be common, are now outlawed. Get the skinny from your city hall and
follow the rules. You'll find it to be pretty common sense stuff.
