I have an LED build-out that was inspired by the Lumenator (https://arbital.com/p/lumenators/ https://arbital.com/p/lumenators/). Since that post 1600 lumen A19 bulbs have gotten much cheaper and so I run 9 of those in a 3-fixture tree lamp with 4-way spliters. I also experimented with commercial string lights and ended up hanging one strand with around a dozen bulbs over an ikea pyramid coat rack behind a Japanese style paper screen and that made for a bright and beautiful standing lamp. I also found that having a timer/dimmer was a great way to wake up in the morning. Much better than any alarm, but if you don't sleep alone you need to get your partner on board. I highly recommend trying a build for yourself!
