Can’t touch the roof. What don’t you understand about this limitation?
Because we're a practical lot usually and when someone just drops a 'computer says no' response we like to delve deeper.
What about some 18mm plywood cut into 6" strips, then joined together to make a long enough length to follow the curve of the roof/walls. Once you had several of those, you could then knit them together with some lengths of floor boards or similar, set at the height you require your light to be at.
It's hard to understand the reasoning behind it, given that the alternative throws up more problems than the ones you are trying to avoid.
FFS what don’t you understand.
Been told NOT to touch the roof and hence the thread for alternative recommendations
What are you allowed to touch?
Wall lights? Cat wire as suggested?
Goal posts to support a beam?
I bet they end up fixing to the roof anyway?@Deluks I think you've upset him.
The door frames.

So without affecting the structure, build some thick wooden freestanding frames one at each end in the middle.
Then between them both you want a 7m pole - like a stair bannister or scaffold pole, from this add your lightweight lights.
May require a middle support.
Or use them new fangled wifi powered lights that use skyhooks
