Hmm, that's an interesting idea, too. Might be one of those conundrums; how a light shining upwards could provide downward light to see by. :lol: We have one in the office. I'll go check it out.

Thanks,
When I first read your post, I thought your main concern was glare, which I thought would be helped by a floor lamp shining onto the ceiling, thereby diffusing the light. My lamp is halogen, which gives off a lot of light, and my ceiling was recently painted a very bright white. However, if you do get a halogen lamp, be sure not to put it close to things such as curtains or hanging plants, and use rubber gloves to change the bulb. (Touching a halogen bulb will leave oil on it, and the bulb will burn out quickly.)

Hope this helps!
