🌅 Lumie Bodyclock Active 250: Wake-Up Light with FM Radio & Extra Audio Options for an Energizing Start to Your Day Review

bought ONLY for the graduated morning light, for no other function. That works great. It lights up the room - unlike the diffuse light of the morning sun, let's be honest, no lamp can do that - and makes me less sleepy when I wake up in the morning. I was very skeptical that the sunrise clock would work, but it does! Now I think I need a second one to light up the other side of the room and mimic the rising sun as closely as possible.

Well I have that I don't expect any healing from "Lumi" in any way, honestly I didn't know if it would wake me up, especially on its own/without human assistance after its "sunrise", hoping for an easier…

Pros: Pleasant light, doesn't take up much space, looks normal Cons: 1) The backlighting of the display (not just the time digits, but the entire area where the time is displayed) is very bright and illuminates the whole room. One of the reasons I ordered this model is that the display backlight can be turned off. But as far as I can tell, it can only be turned off when the alarm goes off. So the choice is either to set the alarm clock one morning for the next morning (so that the lights go out
