I live in a very rural area and have a shed with no outside electricity, but someone has tried to break in and I'd love to have a bright light come on if there's any motion near the door.

I should also mention that I live in the "north woods" where we have heavy snow in the winter and dreary days.

For $69.00, you can get a great. L.E.D. solar powered motion activated light. These lights are fantastic and because their an L.E.D. they use very little power.
Check out this link for more info.

It's not a light, but I saw a cool sprinkler at the garden shop that is motion activated. The head works on an extension cord, and it is designed to frighten animals from your garden. I'm sure a soaked burglar would let out a whoop.
You might try an internet search for a solar powered motion light.

A simple answer:
A solar light that charges by the sun during the day and lights at night. The new ones are all self contained, just take it out of the box and hang it. You might have to adjust the sensitivity if it has this feature. Buy it in any electrical supply stores.
Remember, animals running across it will light it at night, but will go out by itself in a few minutes.

why not mount the motion sensor from the outside of your house facing the shed,AM sure you can tap into the electricity from your house,i had the same problem when i mounted my sensor,and it went on i shot the burglars.
