youd need several lights to fill the shaddows.

I cheat and use those AA battery powered dome lamps from tesco/asda/homebase. A couple of them will light up plenty and you can take one under the car.

couple of old 12v bulbs on the ceiling, rig them up to a big battery off a diesel van or something, should last a fair few hours between charges!

you want leds, they use far less power so any battery will last longer.

generators are pretty quiet if you get a good one
