As a fellow basement dweller, I concur.

The big problem with basement is ceiling height. With a low ceiling, you
need far more fixtures per square foot, as the light doesn't get much
chance to spread out.


Incentive to spread some white paint around. It always amazes me how that
helps.

What he said, basement or any other shop -- white walls make a HUGE
difference in ambient light, and frankly ambience as well. Much more
cheerful and inspiring than gray cement or bare studs
