One of many possibilities to consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder

However, for far less than this you can get a lamp that provides a similar effect, if not the same aesthetics.

Sure, I want that, but that article was a year old. Their website seems like it only mentioned things through 2015. Not for $60,000. I'm in seattle, add me as a reseller for say $1000 and I will sell 10,000 units.
I'm not sure an artificial light source looking like the sun will replace the actual sun in regards daily energy and motivation, among others.
