I use a Lightolier Dramalux attached to the ceiling above and in front of the turntable on a Monopoint. A Monopoint serves the same purpose as a track but accommodates only one fixture (tidy for this purpose).
Within the base of this fixture is a switch, enabling the user to choose either a 5.5 or 12 Volt Par36 bulb. Several companies manufacture Par36, including Osram, GE and Sylvania. Depending on distance and the amount of light you want, choose wide, normal, spot, or super spot halogen bulbs in various outputs wattages.
I choose the GE display super spot which is 2 degree (or less) and puts out either 35 or 50 watts. I have a Magenta filter in front of the bulb which increases visibility of record grooves in the dark, making it easy to find the exact cut I want to cue.
Halo and Home Depot both manufacturer low voltage fixtures that would do an equal job if you don't have an existing system of Lightolier (or other brand) to match cosmetically. This style of lighting is visible in my system images here at Audiogon.

By the way, the suggestion by Kurt on the Ikea clamp light is good too. I don't have any way to clamp a light like that but it would probably work excellent, appears to be halogen design as well.
