Homelabs Sunrise Alarm Clock
The Homelabs Sunrise Alarm Clock is one of the most affordable wake-up lights.
Its not USB-rechargeable, but it does include a back-up battery.
Weve been using our Glow lights constantly since they arrived.
The interactions are so intuitivethey really are a joy to use, says one shopper.
My wife is very sensitive to light, especially at night.
One reviewer writes: I bought this to replace my Phillips Wake-Up Light alarm.
This sunrise alarm clock offers 10 light intensities (up to 200 lux) and a snooze button.
It doesnt have the nature sounds of the other clock nor companion-app connectivity or sunset simulation, however.
But at half the price, perhaps its simplicity is just what you need.
As a perk, the Movsou includes a charging port for your phone too.
One MoMA reviewer writes: This is my favorite alarm clock Ive ever had.
Its absolutely gorgeous, and using the app to control it is not only dead simple, its delightful.
