I've read a number of anecdotes about benefits of bright, full-spectrum indoor lighting and I'm increasingly sold on the idea.

The only thing that makes me hesitant is the extreme unpleasantness of direct high brightness artificial light. I wonder if an indirect lighting setup of similar brightness could be as effective.



It is. The best I've seen make use of essentially bright overcast levels of lighting, so more like 2000 lux, and it's extremely pleasant.

This guy has a pretty compelling version:

If you look at his scatter pane, that's where I would go. There are companies that sell similar lights retail, but they're perhaps 3x as expensive.
