Walked into a co-working space in Austin and got distracted by the lighting for 20 minutes

I was visiting a friend at a new co-working spot downtown last week, and I couldn't stop staring at how they hung their pendant lights. Every desk had a warm-toned cone of light exactly over it, but the rest of the room was dim and cozy. It felt like being in a library but way more modern. I asked the manager about it and he said they spent months tweaking the angles so no one got glare on their screens. I never really thought about how much a room's lighting changes the way you work until that moment. Do you guys ever walk into a place and get totally stuck on one design choice?

Tell that to the 20 cars behind you flashing their brights back, @kellymurphy.
