I often work up in the ceiling pulling cat5 cable, and I really enjoy 
those recessed lighting fixtures.  They leak so much light up into the 
plenum that it makes seeing really easy.  Seems to me that they would 
let less light go upwards and make more of it go down.  But that's just 
the way it is.  Just another reason why we like to pull cables down 
hallways.  :-)
