Default Gloss white paint - reflector

I was wanting to increase the amount of light at work but the cost of installing more lights was pretty high both in initial cost as well as operating cost. So my solution was to paint the walls with high gloss white paint. The walls have been white primer since we moved into the new shop 7 years ago. I have only been able to get part of one wall painted so far but it made a huge difference in the amount of light reflected off the wall. Painting a ceiling at home with gloss white would allow for lower wattage lights. I wouldn't want to paint my walls at home gloss, but the ceiling would look alright. I will snap a pic today of the difference of reflection.
