I like the amber light some of those give off (LED Edison-style bulbs with a dimmer). My trick is to hide them behind objects (like a row of books) and put them on a smart switch so I don’t have to get near them — they light up the wall/ceiling behind the object with a nice warm glow and I don’t have to look at them directly.
I have a similar setup in my home office, where I have a floor standing desk lamp with a reflector to direct the light that I have pointed straight at the wall for indirect lighting.
What about nowadays’ trend of NOT using lampshades? I fucking hate the moltitude of suns blinding my eyes in every* room
My girlfriend has a hobby of growing/propagating/selling desert plants. The grow lights fill her living room, and they are intense. 😭
Thankfully, she knows me, and she turns them off whenever I come over.

This is the way.

So you have a… Lampshade!
