I have one of the Lowes 4 foot "2 bulb" lights.  (They are actually two four foot long LED arrays.  There are no bulbs to replace.) I like it very much.  I have also replaced all of the screw-in incandescent bulbs with screw-in LED, 100W equivalent bulbs.  They light my 35 x 25 garage very nicely.  (And no more burned out light bulbs!)

All this talk about shop lighting, I just went out and bought 2 new LED's for mine, to replace 2 of the 3-light sets, one above my loading bench and one over the lathe.

  I use a 4' LED light directly over the workbench but common fluorescent lighting elsewhere. The LED is good for seeing detail but are too darn bright for me to use everywhere. I can only work under the LEDs for an hour or two at a time.  I'm extra sensitive to bright light and prefer cloudy days to sunny ones.
