Office mood lighting

Pipefish shares a co-working space that has very 'institutional' lighting. Florescents are in most of the offices and those drive most people crazy after a while. I personally hate bright overhead lighting. Our solution was to replace all of the lighting with multi-color LEDs. We bought three of each of these:

The bulbs go in the lamps. Each workspace gets one lamp and the LED striping goes underneath the desk pointing downward. I personally like the deep, pure blue while others either set the autocycle or go with a light green color. The colored, low-key lighting sets a mood that's much more conducive to getting things done.
