Can move somewhere it’s always sunny? Not that that really helps if my experience is any indication, but I’m only one person.

I tried a sunlight lamp at 10000lm, which was impressive while it was on, but stepping out of my room in the evening messed with me so hard that I never used it again.

I'd recommend continuing to play with it - I use sunlight lamps and there are definitely levels that work for me without wrecking my night vision for the rest of the house. Of course, you can also brighten the rest of the house, even during the evening!

No ability to move as my partner's job is geographically restricted. We've moved to the sunniest part of the UK already!

You are supposed to use a sunlamp for only 30mins a day first thing in the morning. Is that what you did?
