One thing I've done to improve the overall light level in my workshop, without adding excessive lighting, is to paint walls and ceiling white. Yes, laboratory white, . . . . with an oil-based semi-gloss paint. The white paint reflects the available light making the space seem brighter than it really is and the oil paint can be wiped clean with soap and water, or spirits, if necessary.
