Thanks, that is pretty detailed description.
I've had similar thoughts - put that distribution box over the middle of shelves, cutting current line to the lamp in half, and make line on ceiling for new lamp. Or maybe even two lamps, over left and right parts of table. Boiler is ok with current lamp so let it be.
I completely forgot about socket though, idea of putting socket at the wall below shelves is very good, I'll make one. There are two lines on wall now, one for sockets near boiler, other one is for light, because it has one switch in other side of the room. Sockets need to be separated from lighting (and work in the dark), so I'll stick with two different lines.
Most of electric work was made by some distant relative, who visited this place in past, but now he does this rarely, so it is up to me now. Although there are plenty of tools and materials remained, like cables, connectors, some sockets and few switches.
Walls wouldn't be plastered, at least in foreseeable future. This room was planned as garage when house was built, but now works as generic storage place for garden equipment and tools. Room already has big flaw - floor is made from concrete poured onto ground directly, so it is slightly wet at spring and already rough and curved, filled with cracks. Only real way to fix it is to make elevated floor (like in other parts of house, where floor is higher than ground), but there is already very low ceiling (I can touch it by hand and I'm pretty short). So, it is too hard and tiresome to make this room better, while other parts of the house require work too. Second floor has no finish on walls, attic requires new windows etc. There are plenty of work for all my lifetime already, and "garage" is not a high priority.
Main problem now is that I don't want to drill ceiling very much. It is very hard, hammer drill works slowly and overheats on it, so it would be better if there will be minimum amount of holes. Now I think about using glue or something to fix the wires, although putting a lamp still requires drilling and screws.
