The Glow 150 occupies what we think is the sweet spot in Lumie's Bodyclock range.
It concentrates on the features most people are likely to use rather than turning the bedside table into another piece of technology demanding attention.
Its simulated sunrise can be set to 20, 30 or 45 minutes, with adjustable light intensity and a choice of ten wake sounds. A corresponding sunset function can gradually reduce the light before bed, while the display automatically dims at night.
Lumie provides a three-year warranty.
Independent hands-on testing also supports its credentials. The Guardian's reviewer used the Glow 150 daily for two weeks after testing numerous sunrise alarms and selected it as his preferred model.
