Lumie Sunrise Alarm - Sunrise Wake-up Alarm, Sunset Sleep Feature, Sounds and Mood Lighting, White

This has made a huge difference to getting out of bed in the morning - it's a nice way to wake up with the increase of light. I have more motivation and energy using this. I love it but there are a few things I'd change. Pros - small and compact - get to wake up to - I like the sunset mode (put it on when I get in my bedroom, as the light dims, it feels cosy and makes me sleepy) Cons - the red LED light that shows the time is bright. There is the option to turn it down, but even then it is bright. It can be turned off but then the time can't be seen - the alarm noise is so loud, even on the lowest setting. I turned it off in the end - I think the alarm has to be turned on each day - there is no reoccurring setting (at least I don't think there is) Maybe I'm expecting too much for a sunrise alarm clock. Just seems certain functions are a little outdated and it could do with a make-over/overhaul. Saying that, I wouldn't be without it.

Nice looking good level of build easy to set the light comes on 30 minutes before the alarm goes off good to be able to turn the number dials off at night

The good: The controls were easy use, the red time display can be turned off, the sound can be turned off, and there is a good range of lighting for the half hour to wake you up. It is so much nicer to wake up to than switching a normal light on and getting instant brightness. Not so good: that red light for the time is horrible. I would argue that for me, it doesn't light up the room enough. The actual lamp is bright but doesn't emit the light quite as well. The sound quality for the alarm isn't great so I switch it off. Good price given that I don't use the time display or the alarm. Just the light for me.

It actually worked! I am the complete opposite of a morning person and bought this because i was sick of feeling permanently exhausted during the winter. The light gradually lights up half an hour up to your alarm, where you can set birdsong or a nice beep thats much nicer than the iphone alarm. I still set the alarm on my phone just in case, but I’ve woken up well before and switched it off every time. No more brain fog and no more exhaustion halfway through the day. I also lowkey like that its not controlled by an app - encourages me to put my phone away and the buttons on the lamp are intuitive. So so so recommend !!

I've been using this for years and I do like it but I have several issues with it, which are a shame because it was reasonably expensive for basically a clock/lamp. The dawn lamp goes through obvious stages of brightness rather than a smooth brightening. This is an entry level sunrise lamp so I don't mind this too much. It is nice to wake up in this way, I also sent a gradual alarm (early bird app) as back up, I don't use the clocks in built sounds. It's nice to have other colour lights and I use the red every night. I wish it was properly red, it's orange really. When turning on the red lamp I have to go first through dim white and bright blue, it's the worst thing about the lamp. The buttons aren't embossed to you have to do this while looking at the lamp and it's to bright for late at night. The clock doesn't keep time. I can't rely on it as a clock, which is it's main purpose. It's plugged into the wall so power isn't an issue. It falls out of time really quickly after readjusting this. All in all, I recommend spending more and going for a better sunrise alarm model. Having said that, I'm not replacing it any time soon because they're so expensive.

This is a great product for me, being reasonably priced and good quality. Works well and is easy to use. A huge benefit for me is it uses standard usb for power, which gives the option of powering from a usb power bank. Ideal if traveling. It also has AAA batteries as backup so it doesn't lose settings if you move it. NB, some reviews are wrong when they say the red display can't be turned off. It has a dimmed and off option. And I found it easy to set. I really like being woken by light. The unit is fairly small but plenty bright enough. I also like the sunset. I first bought a lumie 20+ years ago. It was great. It got broken so I replaced with a more expensive one. That was a mistake. I was disappointed at the quality for the price and that put me off (they used a $1 chip for the clock and it was rubbish at keeping time). That also got broken and I've been without for years. I was tempted by the much more reasonable price of this one and I'm so happy to find it does everything I need very well.
