Honeywell PLS750C1000 Timer Switch with Sunrise Sunset Single or 3 Way

Product Information

A late riser, she puts the full Therapy setting on as soon as she gets up, keeping it on from around 11.

This Lumie Mini is so compact I can easily throw it in my rucksack and carry it to and from work, although I wish the stand at the bottom was foldable. To achieve that “bedroom-filling” light for less than a sunrise alarm clock would cost, you could try a smart bulb or network of smart bulbs, such as from Philips Hue or Wyze.It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. We've got a robust selection of timer switches that provide convenient timed control of lighting in homes, offices, schools, hotel rooms, and more - the applications are endless! As the light dims gradually according to your set time interval, over the course of, say, 15 or 30 minutes, you can choose from seven “wind-down” programs to go with it, complete with breathing exercises and relaxation sounds.

It also has sensors that detect temperature and humidity, noise, and light levels (which post readings on its app), a built-in nightlight (just tap if you need it), and a USB port. The best wake-up light alarm clocks serve that double purpose of improving mood, although dedicated SAD lamps tend to be brighter and more effective. The wake-up light begins red and over the course of 40 minutes turns bright yellow, rising through 20 levels of brightness (most sunrise alarms only have 10).

We were also looking for solid construction, ease of use, a good range and quality of sounds and a glow that genuinely approximated sunlight.

Everything else, like setting wake-up schedules and adjusting the length of the sunsets and sunrises in 15-minute increments (up to 90 minutes), is controlled through the app. There’s also a radio, which sounds as good as on our upgrade pick, the Philips SmartSleep, and can serve as an alarm tone too. With their ability to improve sleep quality, mood, energy levels and overall well-being, Lumie Bodyclock wake-up lights are indeed worth considering for a healthier and more pleasant wake-up experience, as well as an improved sleep hygiene. Backup power and alarms: We favored options with power back-up capabilities in the event your power blows. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design.

Advanced internal microprocessor controller will learn seasonal day and night length, no time clock setting required.As such it works well as a reading light, as daylight therapy or even as a main bedroom light source (it reaches 580 lumens).
