I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.
Office lighting is nowhere near the intensity of sunlight.
Office lighting - 320 - 500 lux
Full daylight but not direct sun - 10,000 - 25,000 lux
Direct sunlight - 32,000 - 100,000 lux

FYI: lumins and lux are different measures.
We don't tent to notice just how dark offices are compared to outside light levels because our eyes are good at compensating. But our brains seem to need bright light to keep our body clocks in check. That's why blind people tend to have this very problem at a much higher rate than sighted people.
But, just to be clear, I'm not trying to get anybody to change what they are doing. I just wanted to share what works for me.
Cheers.
