Some answers to your questions might be found in this podcast on "Using Light (Sunlight, Blue Light & Red Light) to Optimize Health", maybe also this one on "Timing Light, Food, & Exercise for Better Sleep, Energy & Mood".

I've been thinking about lighting a lot recently, as we have to decide what types of lighting to use in EA coworking spaces. We've been working with Sladen Feinstein Integrated Lighting , a well-respected interior lighting firm, and have learnt a fair bit whilst doing so. Some of the stuff I've learnt seems like it'd be pretty useful for the EA and rationalist communities, who seem to have focussed a great deal on the effect of brightness on SAD specifically.
As a result, I'm thinking about writing (or commissioning someone to write) a pretty comprehensive but not-too-deep review of all the relevant aspects of lighting which people might need to know about when deciding how to light a home office or a large coworking space. This will include links to, and incorporation of, all the other EA forum and less wrong posts about these topics. If there's something missing from my list, I'd love to know.
Looks like a very useful project in an often overlooked area within the EA community!
I haven't looked into the research at all, but some things that seem relevant and quantifiable:
Thanks, these are great, I'll add them to the list
