What level of light is required? Just enough to read by? Enough to do

An 8W 12V fluorescent tube will provide enough light to see, but nowhere
near enough for say a workshop.

Sorry, I should have said. This is a stable, so enough to see the horse!
I was thinking of around 40W of tungsten, so I think an 8W fluorescent
tube would be ideal.

But where to get one to run from 12V, what size battery, how to
re-charge, and what sort of cable and switching?

Halfords. Or any other similar car place. Together with a motorcycle
battery and a small charger.
