As per title really what are best lights for lambing shed?

Ones that come on when you flick the switch?

We put led strip lights in our indoor sheep pens. It’s better than daylight in the dark. Just got the cheapest but biggest ones from screwfix. Very easy to put in.

Put in high bay led lights in our last year, wouldn't be the cheapest, but an amazing light from them.

There are six old pendants hanging in our shed, which now have 23w LED ‘daylight’ bulbs in them. It’s like full daylight in there when they’re all on, and relatively cheap to put in.

Over my lambing pens I put a 4’ strip light (38w) over each 15’ bay, but they still seem quite dull. I will likely be taking them out and replacing with pendants & LED bulbs before lambing next Spring. Much brighter at lower running costs.

I put some 5 foot batten lights in yesterday funny enough.

LED from screwfix. Hell of a lot of light of them.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking it’s 60ft wide so thinking of 3 per bay

I use yellow sodium lamps and leave them on all night. Doesn't seem to bother the ewes for sleep and makes the lambing camera much easier for overnight checks.
