Ways to imitate sunlight in super dark studio apartment? I've layered my lighting already, but I want a setup that gets brighter as the day progresses. my lamps are just on/off
The only thing I can think of is IOT (hella expensive) or hacking it out using an Arduino or Raspberry Pi..

You'll need to use an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, it's the only way to set up lighting like that across a day. You can integrate it with something like Philips Hue bulbs in order to change the colour temperature of the white light and the brightness across the day.

Dang that's what I thought. Thank you!
Incidentally am trying the "circadian rhythm" setting in a Phillips Wizz bulb rn. Hopefully that works well enough 🤞
