Bounce them off the ceiling.

Dave means, "Bounce the light off the ceiling."

When I made my own LED lighting for the kitchen,
that's how it works. Off the ceiling. 3W of DC worth.
Maybe around 240 lumens. Enough light to make tea.

And there's a limit as to how much light you can
bounce off the ceiling, before the glare from it
gets you. I have some LED floods, that are too "hot"
to do that.
