Coming from a sunny country, living in northern Germany for some time was a torture to my during those looong and dark winters! I would have enjoyed having such a gadget!

I don't know about the UV contribution of LED's, but I suspect is quite small. What I can see is laboratories being lit more like an artist's studio, and I would really appreciate having done with fluorescent lighting has done to me.

I grew up on a farm, and mostly played outdoors. Being in my office/laboratory is to me gloomy even on a sunny day.

I want it!

And I want the LED plant optimal lights too. Just hoping they look marginally natural and not like a circus...

Those first generation lights were (are? ) so extremely bad! Probably half the reason I didn't end up working in a lab... no thanks, no can do!
