You're right wrt personal preference. It's just strange to me how seemingly all the neurodivergents but me hate overhead lighting 😭
Floor lamps that are above head height are... Ok I guess, but that's still mostly head-on. Light that is clearly cast down is so much more satisfying. Personal preference, of course.
And to be clear I don't have anything against mood lighting or accent lights, I like them... Just not only them.
The impression I have (mainly from social media like tiktok and Lemmy) is that the desired lighting is head high and below which just... Puts me in a tailspin lol. Idk how people can live like that 🤣
In my ideal room, there would be indirect overhead lighting that illuminated most of the ceiling to provide an indirect overhead area light, with a near-head level accent lights. I've looked into if I could use a short-throw projector onto the ceiling to provide some kind of crazy configurable overhead lighting, but they're simply not meant for that kind of application
