Thanks for the input...
I don't live in FFC. So I'm not too worried about the FFC Code Nazis, at least not until they try and annex most of the state of MD.
Of course, the AAC Code Nazis are a concern. But doors are not walls.
I agree that flourescents can put out a lot of light, etc, but there's something about the type of light that they put out that really drives me nuts. I don't know if it's the flickering or the color rendering or what... but after working all day in flourescent areas, I just have a headache. To give you some idea, on my desk at work I keep an incandescent desk lamp, to augment the flourescents for reading. Clean, white, non-flickering light is a wonderful thing.
It sounds like a combination of all three may be the answer. High Intensity flourescents for general lighting, color correcting HIDs in a couple of places, and halogens over the benches and tools. Expensive to set up, but it may work.
