Bright Ideas for Home Office Lighting
One way to avoid uniform levels of lighting is to use indirect lighting sources. A fixture that reflects off of the ceiling back down into the space is the least glaring and most comforting for the eyes. If the area around your monitor is not well lit, there will be a contrast between the bright computer screen and the darkness of the room, which will certainly create eyestrain after awhile. To avoid this situation, try "washing" the wall behind your computer with a recessed "wall washer", a light fixture that looks like a regular light that would project light down the wall.
