You do realize Northern Europeans are adapted to needing less sunlight? I would emulate candles if I were you. Which means warm color temperatures. So you don't need the product of this thread, you just need a simple warm color temperature bulb. Do some extra research and get one that doesn't flicker.

Northern European here. No... No, we are not. We suffer from pretty extreme depression during the dark months which has been largely ignored until recently.

Some people get it bad (like me) some people get it mildly. For some reason I can't find figures right now but I recall it being something like 10% of people living in northern Europe get SAD seriously and up to 30% more mildly.

... Do you think people don't travel, or that we only have Northern Europeans living here in Europe?

I think that your assertion about high color temperature being important is less strong than you thought it was.
