How many shop light fixtures are needed for a 20" x 60" small studio?

I am an artist in the process of putting together a small studio in my apartment. I will be primarily working on a small-scale sculpture at a standing desk whose footprint measures 20 x 60 inches. I was looking at your NorthLux™ 95 CRI LED Shop Light Fixture as a potential fixture to hang over my desk, 36-48 inches above the work surface. Two questions: I appreciate a high level of illumination. To achieve this, would I need one fixture, or two? Are 36-48 inches above the work surface too close, or too far? What distance would you recommend? 

Based on our review of the Lumen Estimation Calculator, it appears that a single NorthLux™ 95 CRI LED Shop Light Fixture would be able to provide more than sufficient output to illuminate your 20x60” desk area for artwork creation.

Further, we believe that the 36-48" distance between the light source and the target would also be sufficient. It might also be helpful to know that the hook and chain can be rigged to hang the fixture at various heights, if you would like to adjust the distance at a later time.
