I have 10 foot ceilings, and I say that the T5-HO are about 10 to 12 feet from the work bench. I don't need any extra lighting for the work bench. I don"t get any shadows, but it might be your color temperature of the fluorescent light. I use 5000K (Full spectrum), but most people don't like that temperature. I used to work in quality control & Tool & Die back in the 1980's, and it was at 5000K. More light is nice, if it is required.
