Also in Sweden - there is this Danish shop :
https://www.ledproff.dk/produkter/11907-kraftige-led-paerer-...
Trustpilot doesn't raise any major red flags, but i don't know the shop, it has "e-maerket" though which is official certification.
13.5K for about 400 usd. So it it must at least be legal in EU? They also have 14.8K if you go up 1 level.
Wait a minute, they also have a swedish shop:

Ah, nice. I recognise the brand of the lamp from earlier research. I read this post just now https://meaningness.com/metablog/sad-light-led-lux, where he's using ≈ car lights. That got me thinking about construction lights, they are apparently much cheaper. But not sure about the Color Rendering Index. Here [1] we have 8000 for 600 sek, but not in as a nice design maybe...

I also looked into this and ended up being successful when searching for photography lights and corn cob LEDs. Corn cob bulbs at 40-60 Watts each are cheap (~20USD in the UK), provide ~4K lumens each, and 2-3 are bright enough to get to daylight levels. Would highly recommend if you want to see whether it makes any difference, and/or which colors temp works best.
How expensive are they in the US?
