The corn cob bulbs are very hard on the eyes unless you have some kind of diffuser.
I found a better solution is a 1 to 7 bulb splitter with 7 150W equivalent bulbs for a total of about 15000 lumens.

I'd be curious trying a spotlight (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Primelux-8-inch-14400-Lumens-Driving/...) that is farther away from me.
The parallel rays of a spotlight would probably look and feel more sun like compared to the radial rays of normal bulbs.
What you want is, first, a strong source and second parallel rays (not radial rays like omnidirectional light bulbs). The later is the hard part. Because of conservation of etendue, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etendue#Conservation_of_etendu...) it's difficult to have very parallel rays unless the source is small and/or far away. Most spotlights still have relatively wide angles of radiation. I wonder if something like this might work if well placed: https://www.amazon.com/Primelux-8-inch-14400-Lumens-Driving/...
I wonder if you could use a spotlight like a bit like this: https://www.amazon.com/Primelux-8-inch-14400-Lumens-Driving/... to get the intensity and parallel rays.
