Basement Lighting

Working on lighting ideas for the basement.  I'm putting track lighting behind the ducting which you can see here:
All the bulbs are the same, the color difference is due to the paint color on the wall.  I have another 8' track waiting for a joint to be installed which will extend the track all the way to the far wall, and then I'll spread the  cans out a little.

However I need something that provides better overall lighting for the rest of the area.  Hard to really judge because the walls are dark right now, but here is a recessed lighting idea that I'm leaning towards:

The only downside is that these are shallow mounts, and the par30 bulb is about flush with the lip, so it glares if you look up a bit.  I'll look at some Par20 LED alternatives and see how that works out.
