Has anyone any advice/recommendations for internal 12v lighting in a 7.5t horsebox please?

I have already installed a decent 12v battery, and have a single LED strip in the tack area, but it really needs a bit more in the winter.

I have quite a large horse area, and it has no lights at all at the moment. My camera has remarkably effective lights, so I'm not worried about running lights whilst travelling - it's loading and tacking up lights I need. Would one decent bulkhead light at the cab end work? Or a couple of strip lights down the rear/hindquarters side? I'd like to avoid overhead lights if possible, just for ease of fitting! I haven't insulated or lined the ceilings yet - I'm trying to plan ahead before I do :)

What about ramp/loading lights? Any suggestions?

Thank you :)
 
I can find out more later but OH added a loading light to the outside of our lorry, with a switch in the cab to turn it on. He also added some overhead LED lights to the already existing strip lights in the horse area. These were all added after the fit out as the ones put in weren't bright enough. He also added an outside light to the human door. Haven't gone as far as the blue LED lights which make some look like a spaceship. Can get details tonight.

Thank you- that sounds very interesting- if you can get any more information that would be very much appreciated.
