A bunch of huge honking off-road led bars. Neat solution. That's stuck with me for a long time.
I've had 3x mid sized (~50w) corn bulbs for a while myself. Rarely am I blasting it though. The aluminum reflectors people build makes me think perhaps just getting something more directional would be better but the extra diffusion probably is worth losing some of tht light for.
I bought a bunch of 3000K LED strip lights over COVID. Definitely one of my highest benefit/cost ratio purchases ever. I much prefer the strip lights since it distributes light more evenly.
extremely simple idea and very helpful -- I bought a big daylight LED light panel for less than $100 and it did seem to work for me! Obviously hard to distinguish from placebo since you can't be blinded (pun intended)
Another way to look at it is that US house design sucks, both in the type, size and placement of windows, and because the presence of a closet in an office is a very bad idea because it makes one of the walls unviable for setting a desk.

For those who experience season depression, I recommend Alaska Northern Light Box and a pair of AYO light therapy glasses.
The AYO glasses made the biggest difference for me. Took about 2-3 weeks of consistent use for me to notice the effect.
Those coupled with the light box have made the winter months much more bearable.
