Lights for basement studio--what kind?

Hi folks, I'm doing a modest studio upgrade this summer, including improved electrical wiring and acoustic treatment. One of the items on the agenda is improving the lighting. What's in there now is track lighting, which besides being inadequate (I could fix that by adding more tracks) tends to get in the way of guitar headstocks--also it's hard to find good angles for the cans that spread the light out well without glaring into people's eyes. To replace the track, it seems like I have four choices: 1) Recessed lighting. Pros: uses up zero in-room cubic footage, can be placed to light the room very thoroughly, not too expensive. Cons: will require extensive ceiling-chopping, and will wreak havoc on what little isolation I have from the floor above (living room/dining room). 2) Wall sconces. Pros: Easy to install, no ceiling headroom issues. Cons: May not reach the central areas of the room very well. 3) A few low-profile ceiling fixtures. Pros: Less damage to ceiling & vertical isolation than recessed lighting. Cons: Still vulnerable to headstocks etc.--will need to find fixtures with unbreakable shades; may not reach edges of room very well. 4) Combination of 2 & 3. Pros: will cover room well. Cons: Cost will add up in a hurry. Anybody have any opinions/advice here? What are other basement studio owners doing about lighting? Thanks...

This is what I'm doing. I have a cloth ceiling, so recessed ceiling lights and/or track lighting seemed a no-go/headache. I have a trapezoidal room, so I have 5 sconces up: two on the long back wall, and one in the center of each of the other walls. Room is plenty bright. In fact, I might need to put in 40 watt bulbs! It all depends, of course, on what kind of sconce you put in. Some of them produce only indirect light. That may not be enough. I got the kind that are simply a bulb behind a curved, frosted glass -- really, they're bathroom wall lights more than sconces (about $7 apiece at Home Depot). My builders think they look "cheesy" (i.e. too simple), but they're just very basic -- I like that they don't draw attention to themselves. Decorative sconces, in my view, would have been much cheesier! I'll post pics when the room is done to give you an idea of how it turned out. I'm going to have an old 50s floor lamp in there, too, for mood lighting (that's for clients... not me!).
