Sunrise Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock

Mornings in a dark bedroom are easier to face with something more gradual than a beeping phone. This bedside clock runs a thirty minute sunrise simulation, brightening slowly up to your set alarm time so the room fills with light rather than switching on all at once. Finished in white with an ABS and PP body, it measures 11 x 11 x 20cm, which is a tidy footprint for a crowded bedside table, a shelf, or a desk in a home office.

There is more to it than the alarm. An RGB mood light offers warm white plus six colours for evenings when you want a bit of atmosphere instead of the main ceiling light, and brightness is adjustable across the range. Seven sleep sounds are built in, birdsong and ocean among them, if you like a background noise in the room. Sunset dimming winds the light back down over a chosen 10, 30 or 60 minute timer, and snooze runs for five minutes.

Power comes over USB and the cable is supplied, so it can run from a mains adapter or a nearby USB socket. Treat it as a comfort and lifestyle piece for the bedside rather than anything more, and route the cable tidily behind furniture where small hands cannot pull at it. The white finish and rounded column shape keep it looking like a lamp first and a clock second, which is rather the point.
