Default Desk lighting

I can't stand working in my office/man-cave because the lighting is so
crappy. I'm squinting like a 12 year old with a Playboy! I have one
eyeball type in the ceiling on the far left with a 100w equivalent, a
low-watt pendant in the far right corner and a lighted magnifier an a
articulated arm in the center rear of a 10' x 4' desk. I'm really
thinking of a 4-bulb 8' florescent above the desk. Any better solutions?

==================
I suggest two arm type drafting lamps with LED bulbs. Very
bright and little heat. Slightly more expensive than the
CFLs, but after making the switch a few months ago in
several lamps like them better.
Examples, but I'm sure your local big box store will have
the equivalent.
