I have a similar 26W, 120W-incandescent-equiv. CFL in a lamp in my room; its 6500K light is (more or less) the same as sunlight. It's a lot like sunlight filtered through clouds - and I like it.
Even in a desert nation, there's far more radiation to be converted to electricity above the atmosphere, compared to what's on the Earth. Remember, the atmosphere filters out all the stuff that cooks us carbon-water lifeforms... but a satellite can use that.
