Is there a negitive to flourscent can lights for a garage?

Lighting experts, please let me know. If anyone has any pics of garages with these, I'd love to see them.

Thanks.
This is a good thing to have, as it helps to diffuse the light. Can lights create hotspots under them and struggle to spread the light. Plus, they are more expensive for the lumen output and a lot more intensive to install.
