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

yep.. I also like mirrors, though they're a bitch to keep dusted..
I have several 18" x 30" mirrors from a garage sale and have them mounted high
on walls and angles to reflect light towards the lathes and such..
Even one mirror makes quite a bit of difference..
