It’s good for chickens to have natural day light. Artificial light has no benefits for their health if you use this for egg production. A period with less light during and after molt is natural. I think (believe) its good for chickens to have a recovery period.
If you live near or above the pole circle I can imagine it is a good thing to give chickens extra light during the day. Because this is nog their natural habitat. You could provide a natural spectrum light for about 8 - 10 hours a day in december and a few hours more in the months before and after.
