The downside, for these, is there's a LOT brighter small surface
that can be in your eyeline, which is at least vaguely fatiguing
depending on where you stand, etc. They claim 10x the light,
but it's coming from something barely larger than the original
surface. It's like looking at a 500W halogen shop light vs
a 60W light bulb.
Good point --- wonder if it's feasible to flip the LED panels over so the light
is reflected off the ceiling. Next time I'm at Harbor Freight I'll try to take
a look at them.
Also the "10x brighter" claim is compared to a 60W incandescent light. I use
100W bulbs in the garage already, 60W is just not adequate. So it's maybe more like 5x
brighter, spread over the three panels. Might not be too bad.

The other thing is that over time, LED lights decline. They last a long
time, but they don't ultimately produce the amount of light that they
did when they were new.
