Need a closet light for a 36" wide closet.

Does anyone know where I could get a closet light, (besides the closet rod type) that is identified for use in the closet space?
From what I read the 2023 NEC doesn't leave any other choice for a small closet.

The storage zone only goes to 6' high or the height of the rod, whichever is higher, so if you can get the surface of the light 12" above that you are compliant. If you have a 7.5' ceiling, you should be able to fit just about any LED fixture in the ceiling. Recessed cuts the clearance requirement in half to 6" if things are tight. Flat LED strip lights intended for under the cabinet work nicely above the door on the header. I wish part (2) also had the word LED instead of only fluorescent.
