Not everyone needs their alarm clock to double as a radio or Bluetooth speaker.

Lumie's entry-level Sunrise Alarm concentrates on the basic proposition: gradually introducing light before you wake.

It provides a 30-minute sunrise and sunset, ten white-light intensity levels, six wake sounds and six additional colour options.

For considerably less money than the Bodyclock models, it provides an accessible introduction to waking with light.

Why it made The Edit

  • Significantly lower entry price
  • 30-minute sunrise and sunset
  • Ten white-light levels
  • Six wake sounds
  • Simple proposition
  • Three-year Lumie warranty

Consider something else if

  • You want more control over sunrise duration, radio functionality or a more sophisticated bedside system.
