I highly recommend 4' shop light fixtures with T8 LED bulbs that run around $7 in local stores. The LEDs are in durable plastic tubes and offer great lighting in the pit area with low wattage use. First few years we had a yard tent structure with florescent bulbs in the fixtures. We accidentally broke a tube and do not recommend their use. We now have 1 fixture mounted to each side of the pit structure with 2 LED bulbs each. No shadows! No hot bulbs. The bright lights makes work easier and safer in the pit. It also draws attention to your team. You just never know who will stop by your pit....
