Updating the Lighting in the Workshop

Since I bought the house the workshop has three permanent lights, one on a pull string and 2 on switches, their own switches. 

So as my shelf project and cabinet crown projects have been giving me trouble and are simply slow going due to dry times between coats of varnish.  Dad was down and feeling VERY motivate to make headway on the lighting issues, so that is was got tackled this past Saturday.
Dad started with a few basic ideas for the lighting:
1. He knew that all the lights should be on 1 switch
2. I needed more light
3. I suggested bulbs with globes so that if they get hit it hopefully won't break the bulb.

Dad found these at Fleet Farm, yeah he showed up ready to tackle this, there wasn't even an trip to home depot:

We installed two on each side of the workshop part of the basement. (And one is the 'mud room/stain' side)

 it is impressive how much better it is. This picture is just to show how bight it is:

I do think that I am making headway on the shelves and crown now, but that is a different story.
