So after living there for 5 years, my wife suddenly decided that 3 of the non-walk in closets upstairs are too dark.  None of them have a light or outlet.  They each have 2 sliding doors, 2 shelves on the upper portion at and above eye-level, and clothes and shit hanging under the shelves.  I had a couple of battery-powered puck lights with a remote, but they are too weak and placement is difficult.  Put them on the ceiling and the shelves and clothes block most of the light.

Are there any decent really bright battery-powered lights I could install in there?  Thanks in advance Obama.

Meh. If you've got attic space, having an electrician run real lights won't cost more than a couple hundred bucks. 

Give her a flash light for mother's day

Check AliExpress.  LED powered lights are sooooo cheap and prevalent now.  We have the magnetic strip lights that are powered by 5 LEDs or so.  Like 1"*7" in dimensions.  Really bright.  Runs off of AAA so we have a ton of amazonbasics/eneloops to power them.  About $10 each

Look into Mr. Beams LED lights.  They have a wide variety of both interior and exterior lights.  I have 6 or 7 of their products and have been very happy with them.

Lights are bright and haven't had to replace any batteries after over a year of use.

Just to give you an idea about battery life, I've got a battery power security light for a little extra coverage on our driveway.  It's motion activated, but it's probably easily triggered.  One set of batteries gets me about a year.
