Stacey Solomon loves sharing her homeware finds with fans, and this week is no exception as she gave fans a look at the sunrise lamp she relies on to wake up on dark winter mornings
Dark, cold mornings can make early starts nearly impossible during winter. With scientific backing to prove waking up without daylight can negatively affect our mental health, there’s even more of a struggle to pull ourselves out of bed before daybreak. Stacey Solomon, a woman who is always sharing homeware finds and gadgets with her followers, may have just the ticket for making those early mornings a bit more bearable.
Taking to Instagram to show her routine for Joe Swash’s birthday, Stacey showcased her daylight lamp, which clearly makes rising at 7 am in the winter a bit easier.

Featured in the Instagram story was the Blonbar Bedside Lamp, which is currently available on Amazon for £26.99, down from £42.99. But this lamp isn’t just a sunrise alarm; it also comes with a nifty wireless phone charging platform that is compatible with most Qi-Certified smartphones.
This bedside lamp features three selectable brightness levels (30%, 60%, 100%) and can be controlled by handy touch controls. Simply tap any position on the lamp to adjust the light. Plus, the lamp features a dotted clock screen with three brightness levels, so you can adjust the brightness to your needs and see the time at any time of day.
The sunrise lamp also acts as an alarm clock, with dual functions that let you wake up to simulated daylight, which begins to light up 10 minutes before the set alarm. With 15 changeable alarm tones and a snooze function for those mornings you fancy a couple extra minutes in bed, the light will gradually increase to ensure you wake up with sunlight, just like you would in the spring and summer months.
It isn’t just for waking up, though; this bedside lamp also comes armed with ten different sleep sounds: birdsong, ocean waves, running water, campfires crackling, cicadas and more. It ensures that you or any family member falls asleep quickly and naturally. In sleep sound mode, the clock has a 30/60/90-minute countdown, so you don’t have to get up to switch off the sounds; they’ll turn off automatically at the set time.
Alternative sunrise lamps to consider that won’t break the bank include the Lumie Sunrise Alarm, on sale at Boots for £39.99 down from £49.99, or the Elements Light Up Alarm Clock at Dunelm for £25.
Back on Amazon, it isn’t just Stacey who loves the Blonbar Bedside Lamp, as it currently boasts nearly 900 reviews with the majority bestowing 4 or 5 stars.
One buyer beams: “Great alarm clock wakes you up with natural and very relaxing sounds, good quality and stylish design.”
More praise comes from this reviewer, who raves: “I fell in love with this bedside lamp right away! After receiving the package, it didn’t disappoint me. It has three levels of brightness; no need to find where the switch is. Touching any part of the lamp will turn on the light, making it easy for me to turn on the light in a dark environment.”
And a third shopper shares: “Loved this beautiful bedside LED lamp. It is really very nice. It has an inbuilt clock, alarms, wireless charging and whatnot. The alarm has different sounds which are really soothing, and the LED lamp has 3 brightness levels as well, which are really perfect and are bright as required. The best thing is that it is a touch lamp, and what else can you expect for such a price? It is really sleek, and the performance is really good. So easy to use.”
That said, several reviews do comment on the fact that the wireless charging can be tricky depending on the size and thickness of your phone case.
But the overall impression is positive from customers, as this one writes: “It has 3 settings, and when I get up in the middle of the night, I use the dimmest of the 3 when I need to go to the restroom. Getting back to sleep is very easy.”
