For those that work in office buildings and may be far away or do not have immediate access to Windows while working, would this be a good investment for companies to make?

The sun availability does seem to affect my daily energy and motivation.

I'm not sure an artificial light source looking like the sun will replace the actual sun in regards daily energy and motivation, among others.

Sure, I want that, but that article was a year old. Their website seems like it only mentioned things through 2015. Not for $60,000. I'm in seattle, add me as a reseller for say $1000 and I will sell 10,000 units.

67.000$ for a great looking light source seems too much. You can buy small houses at that price point where I live. With real windows, you know.

LED bulbs started expensive as well. I just bought one for $1.97 (Cree 60w equiv) at Home Depot this evening. Manufacturing efficiencies take time.

One of many possibilities to consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder

However, for far less than this you can get a lamp that provides a similar effect, if not the same aesthetics.
