There are some decent LED bulbs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeR2...
I use this at 1800K: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZPBWGFK
It isn't IR, but it's better than most LEDs and very stable delivery so there's no flicker
They have lamp/bulb reviews: optimizeyourbiology.com/light-therap...

The REM is great, but the tragedy might be that expertise fading away without another project
REM de l'Est was rejected because some people disliked the elevated portion above a 6-lane road
When projects get derailed so easily, each new project takes a long time and you always lose your experience

It's possible, but seems unlikely. There's a couple dozen images with the dreidels backwards while the Christmas ones clearly weren't mirrored.
Also, in your mirrored version, the company's logo is now backwards
