Properly bright workshop lighting

Well just to add some sort of conclusion to this for anyone looking to do something similar.
I opted for 10 of these on 2 circuits with another couple set under shelves over my main workbench. Let's just say 84 000 lumens in a 9.6 x 4.8m shed definitely meets my "properly bright" specification. Nice even light too with absolutely no trace of a shadow anywhere. Being honest 4 would have probably been plenty!
The under counter lighting is definitely worth doing too, no need for an anglepoise for even very close work. Thanks for the advice everyone - photos don't really do the amount of light justice but the one below made me laugh. Great result for a fairly modest outlay.

Mine wasn't quite so sci-fi dramatic; went for a 1/2/1/2 set-up, so there's one over each bench and one along each side of the car (when it's in there). The car end ones are on a separate switch while the nearest lamp is set to a lower colour temp so it doesn't white me out while I'm training on my static bike.
Also proper bright!
