Summary:
4.3
Are you tired of constantly slamming your alarm clock in the morning to shut it off, only to keep missing it so the audio alarm keeps sounding? Wouldn’t it be nice to have an alarm clock that simulated a natural wake-up cycle instead? The INLIFE Wake Up Light Alarm Clock is one of the most affordable products of its type that can provide you with an artificial dawn and a dusk simulation.
In addition to the 30-minute brightening or fading cycles that this sunrise alarm offers, you’re also given 6 different nightlight options, 6 different nature sound options, and an FM radio if you want to hear some music as an audio alarm.
Here are some of the additional features that you’ll be able to enjoy with this wake-up light.
- The light on this alarm gradually increases from 10% brightness to 100% brightness over its sunrise cycle and operates in reverse for its dusk simulation.
- There are 3 charging methods available to this unit, including a USB charger, a standard wall outlet, or back-up batteries.
- It offers users an option to work as a bedside lamp for reading or relaxing at night, offering 10 total brightness settings that can be used.
- Controlling the sunrise alarm is easy thanks to the sensitive touch keys, making it easy to setup and operate all the functions that are available.
Our Impressions of the INLIFE Wake Up Light Alarm Clock
The nightlight feature on this alarm clock is one of its best features. The blue and green colors are virtually the same, but the other color options provide the right kind of night ambiance. It’s a great option for parents who have their kids come crawling into bed with them in the middle of the night. You can use this light instead of the overhead fixture, letting everyone else stay asleep.
The brightness levels of the wake-up light could use a little more variation. The difference between 25% light and 50% light is minimal. It is most useful at its 100% setting as a lamp.
As for the actual wake-up process, this alarm clock by INLIFE offers one of the best value experiences in this category. It works as effectively as units that are triple its price and provides a consistent experience. The added nature sounds are also nice to have, especially at night, and you can turn off the audio alarm to use this as a wake-up light only if you wish.
It’s not a full spectrum light and there are 15 preset volume levels, so these features are somewhat limited. It doesn’t interfere with the benefits this sunrise alarm can provide, but it does take away from the full customization of your alarm. The FM radio can struggle to get a signal at times as well.
Our Grade for the INLIFE Wake Up Light Alarm Clock: A+
This is the best value purchase in the category. It gives you a consistent user experience, multiple nightlight colors, and multiple nature sounds in addition to its service as a wake-up light. Setting it up takes 10 minutes or less. If you’ve always wanted to try a sunrise alarm, then this is the model you’ll want to purchase today.
