Use a basic incadescent fixture with LEDs (under $5 each) and/or LED shop lights. One shop light on each side ($45 each) and you're done.
FYI - My experience with LEDs: I installed a sunset to sunrise timer on my 6 porch lights and switched to equivalent LED bulbs. The incadescents drew 3.0A and the LEDs 0.45A, a 6.7 ratio. Then I ran the yearly cost based on last years utility bills. For 44,000 hours the LED cost is $23 and incadescent cost $155. LEDs and timer paid for and savings started in 3.5 months.
