TIL a comment about my lighting changed my whole garage setup

My buddy came over to help with a project and said my overhead lights were making everything look flat and washed out. He pointed out that the shadows were hiding all the detail on my workbench. I swapped one of the fluorescents for a cheap LED work light at an angle, and it made a huge difference in seeing what I'm actually doing. Has anyone else found a simple lighting change that improved your workspace?

Flip your main light to bounce off the ceiling instead of pointing straight down, it scatters the light way better. I did that with an old halogen work light and it killed the harsh shadows without needing to buy anything new. The reflection makes the whole room feel bigger too.

Yeah @kelly.robin, that ceiling bounce trick is a game changer for sure.
