My wife laughs a little at my lighting mania[0]. I bought a bunch of desk lamps and put them around the perimeter of my home office, and equipped each one with a 300W equivalent flood bulb pointed straight up (I like indirect light best). Tied them all with HA so they turn on with the main room light. So when I go into my office and turn on the lights, it's like turning on the sun. Not literally, of course, the sun is pretty bright, but it's a heck of a lot brighter than any other area of the house. Pretty sure it's the only reason I survive winter in a good mood.
