First, will the shop be heated all of the time of do you start a heater when you start to work. If the shop is heated all of the time fluorescents will not be a problem, if you start heating when you start working get fluorescent lamps AND BALLAST rated for how cold your shop will be when you turn on the lights. They will still start a little dim then gradually come up to brightness.
Or use LEDs. LEDs like cold, but do not like heat. So if you use LEDs, make sure they will tolerate the heat you expect in the summer.

An LED installed so it doesn't get too hot will last 50,000 to 100,000 hours, even those where the package only says 25,000 hours (it is a labeling regulation).

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
