I wanted natural light in a basement that has no windows. Paid $10 for two old windows. Painted them, frosted the glass, installed them into my wall with 12” LED flat panel lights behind them. Now it’s always 2pm at the basement bar.
My uncle has something similar installed in the basement house. His, however is an entire wall turned into a back-lit forest with fake windows in front to add depth and realism. It's one of the coolest things I've seen in a home.

If you used RGB LEDs that are able to change colour and dim you can simulate sunset and night too! Super cool.

Not sure if this would quell or contribute to late night coke binges...
