This daylight lamp available on Amazon has been hailed as an absolute “game-changer” by buyers who say they’ve experienced a noticeable improvement since incorporating this alarm into their morning routine on gloomy days.
Lumie, a British company founded in Cambridge in 1991, has spent more than 30 years researching how to help people reconnect with their natural rhythms for better sleep, mood and energy levels. The company says it invented the first wake-up light in 1992.
Using LED technology, the device mimics the natural hues of sunrise and sunset, providing customisable bedroom illumination to help you unwind at night and wake properly in the morning. Recognised for its effectiveness in combating seasonal affective disorder, this lamp is designed to support better sleep and ensure you wake feeling completely revitalised and alert.
By simulating a sunrise, the alarm clock offers a more natural way to wake up, which can help to combat SAD and winter blues as well as improve sleep, the brand says. Users can experience a warm, white light for the sunrise and sunset along with a choice of six other colours to suit their mood: green, red, blue, pink, orange or light blue. It can also be used as a bedside light, with 10 light levels to choose from.
Better still, this lamp is currently available with an impressive 36% discount, reducing the cost to just £31.99, making Amazon the most affordable retailer for getting your hands on one.
Over at Boots, the Sunrise Lamp is selling for £39.99, saving shoppers 20% off its full price. Or, over Dunelm, shoppers can find the more advanced model, the Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 Digital Alarm Clock, which is currently selling for £99.
Customers who’ve already invested in one are full of praise, with one delighted buyer sharing: “This is the BEST thing I have ever bought from Amazon. Having always been interested in buying a SAD lamp, I have been searching around for the best and most cost-effective, and this is it. I love this lamp so much. The features are exactly what I needed it for and it has improved my sleep and morning routine so much! A must buy, especially for those who struggle to wake up in the morning when it’s dark.”
More praise comes from this buyer, who shares: “I’ve been using the Lumie Sunrise Alarm for nearly two weeks now, and it has certainly made a difference in my morning routine. Waking up in the morning has always been a struggle for me, and this alarm clock has helped to ease that struggle. However, my experience with this product has been mixed. The most significant advantage of the Lumie Sunrise Alarm is its ability to mimic a natural sunrise, gently waking me up with gradually increasing light intensity. This feature has been a game-changer for my mornings, making it much easier to get out of bed.”
However, the same customer does highlight some drawbacks, explaining: “On the downside, the Lumie Sunrise Alarm has a few issues. Firstly, the build quality of the device leaves much to be desired. It does look and feel somewhat cheap, which is disappointing given its price point. Setting up the alarm can be a bit of a hassle, as it’s not as user-friendly as I would have liked. The user manual could use more detailed instructions to simplify the setup process. Additionally, I found the red light in the clock to be quite annoying when using the alarm as a bedside table clock during the night. It’s not adjustable in intensity, and it disrupted my sleep more than I anticipated.”
The glowing five-star reviews keep flooding in, with one Amazon shopper sharing: “First few mornings I hated it however I kept going with it I suffer S.A.D really bad and my sister told me long time ago that you get get things to help I never bothered and few weeks ago I decided to try and beat it, and after a few days this has been a game changer. I’m waking up easily, and I’m also waking up in a good mood, and the only change is this. My only thing would be that you could pick the colour to wake up to, as I’d love the orange light, but so far I think it’s only white, the colours seem to be used only as a light”.
Over at Boots, one customer raves: “Waking up feels smoother and more natural thanks to the gentle sunrise glow and calming sounds like animal and nature sounds. The colourful room light adds a warm vibe, and the interface is simple to use. It’s functional, realistic, and genuinely makes mornings better.”
And another beams: “A wonderful clock with lights to lift those low autumnal and winter moods, leaving you feeling uplifted. The pleasant alarm sounds to gently rouse you in the mornings, together with the gently brightening light. My favourite alarm sound is the birds tweeting. Features different colored lights, variety of alarm sounds, sunset and sunrise settings, and much more!”
