The ceiling lights were distracting: our old halogen spotlights immediately burn out and don't illuminate much to begin with. I jammed some LED flood bulbs in the housing, and used telegraph wire to make clips that hold these in place.  The flood bulb angle also helps reflect light off of the walls to get around the humungous new obstruction.
The ceiling lights became a subproject: old halogen bulbs burn out too quickly to keep lit, and their spotlight focus never illuminated much to begin with. Random LED flood bulbs can be had with the same socket, but they were wider.  A bit of bent telegraph wire later, it was possible to make clips that hold the new bulbs in place after ahem throwing out a few of the landlord's parts.  The flood bulb also seems to cast better light by reflecting off of the walls to get around the humungous new obstruction.
