Yeah buts its best for all around lighting. Any other light for a small closet will not light very well lower end of closet.

It is strange because I always assumed Led's would be like fluorescents in terms of distance. I was surprised to learn it wasn't

Yeah but tape light needs to be 12" from storage unless listed for storage area or if it is recessed
 
For a shallow closet I’ve been using the linear LED strips on the wall above the door. I’ve used Lithonia and Satco/Nuvo. And I use the door switches from Better Switch.

I second this but what I have been doing is putting a box inside the closet with a motion activated switch no complaints so far , the door switches usually fail over time

I simply tell the customers to just pay mind to try and not block the switch lol

Must be the new ones..
I have one in my pantry doorframe that’s been there for 22 years so far. Never a problem.
it gets used more than my closet..

My go to method has been self contained LED strip light over door with a switch. I see a lot of wafer LEDs now that would make the install much easier.

That's somewhat the "standard" here but Dennis' fixture from Post #30 would be my choice.
 
Depending on the closet, a downlight might not light anything down on the bottom half.

If the closet is shallow, I use l.e.d. strip lighting inside an aluminum channel, with a receptacle on the ceiling right above the door and transformer on the header.

I don't ever stick a strip light to casing. It just doesn't hold well
