Default Shop Lighting opinions

Greetings All,
I have a basement which has just a couple of 48" flourescents right now. I
need to add more lighting and was looking at replacing the flourescents
with something else brighter. Since the machine layout will be in flux for
a while, ceiling cans are out. Besides, my local code requires conduit
everywhere, and I'm not going thru that for ceiling cans. I was at the
borg and picked up a couple of GE 24" halogen fixtures, thnking they would
be nice and bright. I was dead wrong. Dim, compared to my flourescents.
Probably good for a small area at best. The one thing I did like about
them is they are linkable. Any ideas out there? Bright, and linkable would
be good.... TIA, Mark

I would reccomend mutiple floursecents. They are cool and cheap. The more,
the better.
