Lumie Bodyclock Advanced - Sunrise Alarm Clock

Lumie Bodyclock Advanced - Sunrise Alarm Clock

Since time began, humans have learned to respond to the rising dawn by slowly waking up. Today, however, we tend to startle ourselves awake with an abrupt alarm call that can leave us feeling weary and irritable all day. Fortunately, with these ingenious gradual sunrise alarm clocks, we can return to the natural way to wake.

The Lumie Bodyclock is a daylight alarm clock as it imitates a sunrise effect beside your bed - from the first faint glimmer of dawn, gradually increasing in brightness until you gently wake up the way nature intended, fresh and alert with your body clock perfectly synchronised.

The affordable Body clock features a unique innovation - its rear-facing light attractively simulates the rays of the dawning sun onto the wall making it the perfect natural light alarm clock

Features:

Scientifically calculated gradual sunrise wakes you up gently and naturally

Optional back-up beeper for reassurance that you will wake up – most people disable this after a few days

Simulated sunset gives your body the signal to wind down, so helping you to sleep

Dimmable bedside light is ideal for reading or soft lighting

Question:

Q.	Do you stock spare bulbs for the Lumie Bodyclock Advanced?
A.	Yes, we do stock this product. Please click here for further details.

Q.	I live in Dublin, do you deliver to Ireland, I am interested in the Lumie alarm clock. If you have an outlet here in the Republic that you could direct me to?
A.	We believe there is a local supplier in Ireland. Please contact the manufacturer at info@outsidein.co.uk or call them on +44 1954 780500 for further information.

Q.	Please tell me, is the light from these units the full spectrum, as in SAD lamps, or just an ordinary lamp?
A.	Sunrise alarm clocks such as the Lumie Bodyclock do not employ bright light therapy similar to SAD Lamps and are not measured in Lux. They instead employ light therapy in the form of a simulated sunrise to engage your natural circadian rhythms (your bodyclock), by synchronising these they help to alleviate the symptoms of SAD.

Q.	Does this clock come supplied with a bulb or do I have to buy one separately?
A.	Yes, this sunrise alarm clock is supplied with a bulb that is coated with a rare earth element, neodymium, this strips yellow light from the spectrum and provides a more daylight effect. There would be no need to buy one separately. We also stock replacement bulbs if and when they are required.

Q.	Does this clock come with a warranty?
A.	Yes. All of our sunrise alarm clocks come with a 2 year warranty as standard.

Q.	How does this product help in the treatment of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) ?
A.	Sunrise alarm clocks such as the Lumie Bodyclock employ light therapy in the form of a simulated sunrise to engage your natural circadian rhythms (your bodyclock), by synchronising these they help to alleviate the symptoms of SAD.

Q.	Once it has reached full brightness, does the light stay on until manually switched off?
A.	Yes, the light stays on until you turn it off. However, most people awake before it gets to full brightness at which point it can be turned off manually.

Q.	Does this model feature a radio?
A.	No, only the Lumie Bodyclock Classic features a FM radio.

Q.	Does this product run on batteries?
A.	No, all of our sunrise alarm clocks are mains operated, including this model.

Q.	If I select the light ONLY to wake me, how can I be sure to wake at the desired time without using the back up beeper?
A.	The beeper can be used as a back up until your body gets used to waking up to the natural light. This only usually takes a few days. However, if you are afraid of not waking up it may be a good idea to keep the back up beeper active just in case. Please note the back up beeper will not sound until the end of the sunrise, normally you would be awake by this time and able to disable the beeper before it sounds.

Q.	How often on average do you need to replace the lightbulb?
A.	It is difficult to say how long the bulb may last. They are ordinary tungsten bulbs and should last as long as any ordinary household bulb.

Q.	Does this clock make any sort of noise eg a tick or click when numbers change or an electric hum?
A.	No, this clock is silent in operation.

Q.	I am interested in purchasing a Lumie Body Clock - please could I find out the dimensions of this product?

This light has loads of features, and its really easy to work them. I've tried all the features and give them top marks. I like my bedroom completely dark though, so the digital display is still too bright for me, even though its supposed to dim to a low level for sleeping. Covering up the display with blu-tac doesn't look brilliant, but it works. Its great being gradually woken up with light rather than noise.

Thought I was taking a bit of a chance buying just based on the idea of what it does, but after only a week I couldn't recommend it more. Sunset mode is great way to doze off. Waking up has never been easier.
