Yes, lighting can be installed in a shipping container. The safe approach is to define what people must see, have the electrical designer choose suitable luminaires, switching, wiring protection and supply, then complete any permit and inspection required where the unit will be used. A few battery lamps may support brief visits, but fixed workplace lighting is an electrical installation and should not be improvised with extension cords or bare fixtures.
