Hah! Where I work, its a 28' x 22' room. 8 florescent lights (2' x 4' drop
ceiling style), each with 3 tubes. Coworkers (before I got here) have
totally disabled all but 9 bulbs. The other day someone threw a ball and
it hit one of the lights, knocking a tube back on. It was blinding just to
have that additional 40 watt sylvania tube (or whatever they are).

At no time would I say it is uncomfortable or hard to see.

We are lucky enough that outside of the door there are windows. With the
door shut, black hole if you turn off the lights. The door has some sort
of fancy air thing that drops to the floor when it is shut, totally
sealing the bottom.

Kind of cool.
