Sunlight has tons of red and infrared light (red and near infrared have mostly the same effects on cells, the main difference being penetration distance).

Light is ridiculously important for mitochondrial health, and that effect on mitochondria is one of the main reasons sunlight is so necessary for optimal health. Fun fact, 75% of potential ATP production only results from light exposure, with only 25% from food. We run on light more than we do food (necessary nutrients and minerals aside).

This is fascinating. Would you care to share literature that dives into this?
