Top Sunrise Alarm Clocks
JALL's $40 wake-up light beats pricier rivals in Consumer Reports test
Consumer Reports has ranked five sunrise alarm clocks based on ease of setup, everyday usability, and included features. The JALL Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock, priced at $40, is a budget-friendly option that includes two independent alarms, seven alarm tones, and a built-in radio tuner.
The JALL Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock has a maximum light intensity of 240 lux and a mode that mimics a sunset to help someone wind down. However, it lacks a white-noise option and tapping the snooze button shuts off both the light and sound together.
In contrast, the Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light costs $109 and offers five nature sounds along with an FM radio for waking up. The Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light has a peak brightness of 300 lux and its setup process and everyday use were found to be straightforward.
The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 is another option, priced at $130, but it lacks an FM radio. Consumer Reports tested the ease of setup, everyday use, and features of the wake-up lights to help shoppers find a user-friendly wake-up light that can provide a gentler alarm than traditional alarm clocks.
## Why it matters The rankings aim to help shoppers find a wake-up light that is easy to use and provides the features they need. With prices ranging from $40 to $130, there are options available for different budgets. The key is to find a wake-up light that is user-friendly and can provide a gentler alarm than traditional alarm clocks.
The test results show that the JALL Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock is a good option for those on a budget, while the Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light and Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 are more expensive alternatives. Ultimately, the best sunrise alarm clock will depend on individual preferences and needs.
