I have large flouresant fixtures. Love them it lights up the area brighter than daylight when they are all on. One thing to make note of in your planning... Often we think placing the lights in the center is the best location on the ceiling... that center location will still create some shaddow, as the light will not pass through where ever you are standing. So if its the cutting table placed against a wall and you light is from the center of the ceiling ... a shaddow is created. If your work areas are going to be placed against walls the lighting should come from the upper ceiling towards the wall .
Plan where your work areas are first then plan the lighting so the light does not come from over your back at any of your work areas.
Do make note .. the more light ( wether from natural or man made) will cause fabrics to fade .. so take this into account when planning your space and how you will store you fabric stash.
