I have both. I have overhead flouresant but there are still some shadows so I use table mounted to "back light " the area. It makes me crazy to have shadows where I am working.
When I had my basement finished I had lots of lighting put in. I know the electrician thought I was nuts. He called me to look at the fixtures he had mounted temporarily and lit them up. I am sure he was expecting me to say" Oh no.... thats too much". When I saw it "I said thats exactly what I want , brighter than daylight". I do have them on different switches so not all have to be on , but when I need it .. its brighter than daylight.
