Gday Ian, I too have done the sums and agree fully. If your not in the shed who cares if its a bit dim and if you are, turn on as many lights as you need. My shed has 16 flouro and Led lights on the ceiling [ the flouros are being replaced as they die] and other LED lights over the benches but the switches allow me turn on as many as required in multiples of two, it requires turning them in a special sequence, but it can be done. Actually that is the mechanical workshop end of the shed, with the woodworking end the total is 33, I know this because my wife counted them and made an issue of it. I pointed out that 1 hour of welding would run all of them for a week [I made that up] and I have never once used them all at the same time, just as she had never once used more than a third of her cars available power. Apparently that was a sexist comment so I headed back to the safety of the shed.
I do have three small solar floodlights with motion sensors, two that allow me to enter and leave without tripping over things and one aimed at the beer fridge so I can get fresh supplies without having to turn on the lights or having to turn them off again with a six pack in each hand.

I get confused by what I say myself sometimes lol
What I was meaning is that you are not creating any thermal barrier so any heating or cooling being done internally is easily lost through the uninsulated iron, all you do achieve is shading of the roof by adding a second layer.

The shading is what I was referring to as I can put a jumper on in the winter. Landrovers used to use a second roof spaced above the main one to get the same effect as the air was forced through the space between the two. Of course if you had conditioned air then a second roof plus insulation would be very effective. When it comes down to it a bare tin roof open to the sun is just one big radiator. My apologies to the OP for going off topic.

Well it's slowly getting there. Brother went away for a week and I had a few projects of my own to attend to so things slowed to a crawl for a while but with a bit of effort over the weekend it should be ready for some paint by Monday. Ceiling battens are going up and then it's over to the Sparky to rough it in so it can be lined.

Not a good idea in a shed, line the run all power externally in plastic trays. It make it far easier to modify and change things in the years to come. I had the electricals in my shed changed some years ago and that was the first thing the sparky did and I have praised his fore thought many times.
