Combining a reading lamp with an alarm clock, the Wake-up Light offers a more pleasant way to wake up by gradually illuminating as it turns on to simulate a sunrise and follow the natural rhythm of the body. The user can choose from a diversity of alarm sounds to accompany the waking experience. Sounds derived from nature to a gentle, ambient waking alarm. The alarm on- and off control is very visually, as a long metal switch. The user sees the status of alarm from a distance in the room. Once fully illuminated, the lamp recalls a sunset on the horizon via a divider between the luminescence and the dark part of the object.
