Here is a rough drawing of the room. The shelves will be 2 feet wide, except wider as shown at the 180 degree turn at the middle wall. The aisles will be around 5 to 6 feet wide. Layout height will be approximately 54 inches.
This is what I was thinking for the recessed fixtures. Sixteen 4-lamp fixtures. DocWayne, I am considering not doing the recessed fixtures, and going with 4 rows of surface mount 2 lamp fixtures, 1 row above each of the four long shelves in the long dimension of the room. I like the idea of the "cleaness" of the recessed fixtures, but proper lighting of the layout is most important.
On the shadow-from-my-head issue, I drew a diagram and the arrangement shown below would certainly cause a shadow if I am standing in front of the layout... I am 6 foot 4 inches tall.
