What are you guys using for lighting?

I'm working on my garage project now, I have RaceDeck floor coming in today. I should be painting soon, but curious as to what I should use for lighting? I'd like to do fluorescent, but having some trouble finding something that will look good. The garage will have a black/dark grey/light grey/red color scheme if that's helpful.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can flush mount the fluorescent light (depending on your ceiling) so it's not hanging down and then add some track lighting to give it a more refined look. Fluorescent lights are good for general for shop use and when you want to see paint imperfections when you're detailing. I'm looking to add some track lighting next spring to jazz up the garage a bit - already got fluorescent right now.

I'd love to flush mount, but it's probably more than I want to spend at this time. Any recommendations for something that looks good, but isn't flush mount? I had been looking at these:

Looks very clean and low profile. Pull the trigger and let us know how it is!
