Looks good! I put two 84" fans from home depot on down rods in my 40x60 shop and they move a considerable amount of air and keep it comfortable. However, once outside temps are above 90 degrees, it does get fairly warm in there. I've got 4" insulation on the roof and walls. I went with 7 of these lights from Amazon and couldn't be happier. Just had outlets installed on the roof beams so that I can plug them in. If one fails, take it down, and plug another in. They've been up since 2021 and haven't had one fail yet. They really throw off the light and there are no dark spots in my shop.

If you plan to put a floor coating on, do it now before you get a lot of stuff in there. I used Amour Seal from Sherwin Williams and it has held up very well. If you create an account with them, which is free to do, you get a major discount on the product. I think I saved about 50% on the cost.
