How to choose a sunrise alarm clock in Australia
This guide compares sunrise alarm clocks sold on Amazon Australia: the blonbar AJ350A, Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26 and ecozy AC-SCE60A, plus the RETEYUNG AJ320A and a Geuuap sunrise clock, through their documented light, sound and power arrangements. We checked each one on Amazon AU for stock and the seller.
We don't name a pick on this page.
A sunrise alarm clock, also called a wake up light, sunrise lamp, daylight alarm clock or natural light alarm, brightens before your chosen wake time. That is the function to compare: timed light, optional alarm sounds and the controls you would use beside the bed. A model with an evening dimming routine also lets you use a programmed light change at bedtime.
Start with the power arrangement, then compare morning light settings, sound options and evening controls. Ask whether you want light with sound, a separate sound-only mode or a sunset setting. Keep clock-time sync separate from app control when reading a smart sunrise alarm clock listing. Look at the bedside display as well as the lamp, because a bright clock face can matter as much as the sunrise light in a dark room.
The tables below separate captured AU listing details from Philips educational references. The light and sound sections explain those features without a price or rating ranking. The retailer section preserves dated shopping context, while the FAQs address Lumie, Philips and Apple's documented iPhone alarm settings.
The clocks at a glance
The table uses exact AU model identities and the listing ratings. Where a listing does not state a figure, the cell says it was not verified.

How we checked these wake-up lights
This guide uses desk research from Amazon AU listings, maker material and Philips, Lumie and Apple pages. Last checked 5 October 2026.
We also searched Australia's EESS electrical safety register for each clock's power adapter, because the adapter is the part that plugs into the wall. The blonbar's adapter is included but not identified by model, the Dreamegg ships without one in Australia, and ecozy's maker manual shows a US-market adapter while its register record covers the clock itself. None of the three was shown to ship with an Australian-plug adapter on the register, so check the power arrangement for the clock you choose.
We checked the Amazon AU listings for stock and the seller, and added two clocks: the RETEYUNG AJ320A and the Geuuap sunrise clock. Their features and the counts in the table come from those listing captures. We searched Australia's EESS register for the two added clocks by their listed model or part numbers, RETEYUNG AJ320A and Geuuap YF01-C, and by brand name, and found no record for either.
Feature references: Philips HF3651/01 specification sheet; Philips HF3650/60 US product page; Lumie Bodyclock Luxe 700FM specifications; Apple Clock alarm instructions.
Philips lists a maximum light level of 315 lux for the HF3651/01 in its model-specific specification sheet. That is a Philips specification, not a measurement of light at a reader's pillow. We use it as attributed reference information and make no equivalent brightness comparison for the Amazon AU clocks.
We also checked the GEEKERA BZ03-05 and a Tuerthy full-screen wake-up light and left both out of this guide. The ratings on their listings come largely from reviews of other products, so they would not tell you how those two clocks perform.
blonbar AJ350A: dual alarms and stepless dimming
The blonbar Sunrise Alarm Clock AJ350A offers dual alarms, stepless dimming and gradual brightening before the alarm. Two alarms provide separate wake-time settings. Stepless dimming describes continuous light adjustment, which is a different specification from a numbered set of brightness levels. Those are the features documented for this clock; they do not establish how its light looks beside a different model.
The Amazon AU listing describes 10 natural sounds, 12 volume levels and sound timers of 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Keep the sound timer separate from the sunrise timing when comparing the controls. The Amazon AU listing says the wake-up light turns on 10 minutes before the alarm goes off.
Power: the adapter is included but not identified by model, and the listing describes the clock as battery-free. The listing also offers three levels of screen and lamp brightness, so the clock face can be turned down at night.
The listing describes 30 sleep sounds including white, pink and brown noise, a 5W Bluetooth speaker, 17 ambient night light colours with 20 brightness levels, a dimmable clock display and a sleep timer, and says it works without an app or phone. Power: the listing gives a corded electric power source and does not state the adapter.
How light alarms work and what they can and cannot do
A wake-up light starts before the alarm time and becomes brighter as that time approaches. The documented timing differs by model: blonbar's AU listing says its light turns on 10 minutes before the alarm, Dreamegg's AU listing gives 5 to 60 minutes, and ecozy's AU listing gives 0 to 60 minutes. The Philips HF3651/01 description gives a 30-minute coloured sunrise. Keep these individual settings attached to their model names instead of assuming a single timing range applies across the category.
The sunrise setting controls a programmed light change. The audible alarm is a separate part of the routine, and Dreamegg explicitly documents light with sound, sound only and light only modes. Use an audible backup if light alone does not wake you. Decide which mode you want to use and check the exact instructions for enabling it; a sound-machine timer and an alarm setting should be compared as separate controls.
Brightness settings and sunrise duration also answer different questions. Philips lists 25 brightness settings for HF3651/01, while blonbar describes stepless dimming. Neither description establishes a measured brightness comparison between them in a bedroom. This guide describes the controls and the timed brightening itself. It does not infer sleep-stage changes, improved alertness or another health outcome from the presence of a sunrise feature.
Dark winter mornings: why Australians buy these
A light alarm provides timed brightening when your chosen wake time falls before daylight or when blackout curtains keep the bedroom dark. You set the alarm time rather than relying on outdoor sunrise. This gives a concrete way to assess the feature for a winter routine: ask whether you want the bedside light to change before the sound alarm, then compare the documented settings for that routine.
The same functional question applies to a shift worker's chosen wake time. A scheduled light ramp is tied to the clock setting, so the comparison does not require a claim about local sunrise times or how shift workers respond to light. For a bedroom kept dark during the day, examine the light mode and the sound mode separately. Keep an audible backup available if you need one.
A clock with white noise adds another sound option at the bedside. Dreamegg's listing describes a 29-sound machine, and ecozy's listing includes white noise alongside the light settings. Those are documented functions, without a promise about daytime sleep or noise reduction. If your winter setup also involves bedding, our electric blanket guide and mattress protector guide cover those separate decisions. Keep the clock comparison focused on light, sound, controls and its identified power supply.
Sunrise-only, white noise combo or smart: which type to buy
Compare three functions separately: morning light, sound playback and control from another device. A light-focused routine is about when brightening begins and how the light is adjusted. The blonbar AJ350A offers dual alarms and stepless dimming, alongside 10 natural sounds.
A white noise combination places a sound machine and a wake-up light in the same unit. Dreamegg's Sunrise 1 D26 documents 29 sound-machine sounds, five natural wake sounds and three alarm modes. The sound catalogue is separate from the choice of sunrise with sound, sound only or sunrise only. Its listing says no app, no phone and no complicated setup are needed. For readers comparing sound devices independently, our white noise machine guide provides related context.
Smart control means changing settings through a phone app or a supported smart-home system. Bluetooth time sync sets the clock from a phone; it is not app control of the alarm or the light. The ecozy AC-SCE60A documents Bluetooth time sync and white noise, together with sunrise and sunset settings. Philips explicitly lists no smartphone control for the HF3651/01. If remote control matters, ask which exact settings the model's documentation says can be changed, rather than reading the word smart as a complete specification.
The Philips problem: model codes and plug checks
The Philips Sleep and Wake-up Light HF3651/01 and Philips Somneo HF3650/60 remain feature references in this guide. Their Amazon AU pages returned Page Not Found on 30 September 2026. The model suffixes matter because the reference material is model-specific: the HF3650/60 sunrise description used here comes from Philips' US product page. A brand or family name alone does not identify the exact product package.
Voltage compatibility alone does not settle the plug question. Philips lists 100 to 240 V AC input for HF3651/01, but an input range does not identify the supplied Australian plug or a matching adapter registration. For Australian use, confirm that the exact listing includes an Australian-compliant power supply and Australian plug. A travel plug adapter does not establish Australian compliance.
The same distinction applies to the Amazon AU clocks described here. The same question applies to any imported wake-up light. Before you order, ask the seller for the adapter's model number and a photo of its plug and rating label, and check that the plug has the angled flat pins used in Australian sockets. A seller's return policy or warranty is useful, but it answers a different question from whether the power supply is made for Australia.
Lumie vs Philips in Australia
Lumie lists 15 to 90 minute sunrise and sunset settings, 25+ sleep and wake sounds, FM radio and Bluetooth speakers for the Bodyclock Luxe 700FM. For feature comparison, Philips lists 25 brightness settings, eight wake-up sounds and three relaxation sounds for the HF3651/01. Both Philips reference models have coloured sunrise and sunset functions, RelaxBreathe and FM radio. These are specific model descriptions, so the comparison does not extend to other Lumie or Philips clocks.
The light timing and audio features answer different needs. The 700FM description provides an adjustable sunrise and sunset duration. Its Bluetooth speakers describe audio playback, while ecozy's Bluetooth time sync describes setting a clock. Keep those functions separate when comparing feature lists. Philips lists no smartphone control for HF3651/01, so its sound and light functions should not be read as a promise of app access.
The Australian limitation comes first: Lumie does not ship to Australia through its official shop, checked 30 September 2026. No Australian stockist for the Bodyclock Luxe 700FM was confirmed in the 30 September 2026 check. The official country selector omitted Australia, and the captured shipping policy covered the United Kingdom and Europe. Other Lumie models appearing through Australian channels do not establish local supply of this exact model.
This section therefore supplies a useful feature comparison without an Australian value judgement or purchase direction. Without an Australian stockist there is no local buying route for the 700FM to describe here. The Philips references have their own dated AU-page limitation. Neither brand name resolves those listing and power questions.
Wind-down: sunset simulation and finer light control
A sunset alarm clock dims its lamp through a programmed evening setting. The ecozy AC-SCE60A AU listing states that the light dims over 10 to 480 minutes in sunset mode. That range describes the light timer, rather than an outcome for the person using it. The same listing states a 0 to 60 minute sunrise setting, so the morning and evening durations should be read separately.
For an evening routine, compare the duration you would actually use with the controls described for the exact model. A long timer does not mean finer brightness steps or a smoother transition. Its listing also says the clock must stay plugged in, so the settings-saving battery should not be read as portable lamp power.
The Philips educational references provide different feature context. HF3651/01 lists 25 brightness settings, coloured sunrise and sunset functions, and RelaxBreathe. Somneo HF3650/60 also describes coloured sunrise and sunset with RelaxBreathe. Keep those named controls distinct from an adjustable duration range. If you want programmed dimming beside the bed, compare the actual sunset specification and its power arrangement before forming a view about suitability. No sleep improvement is inferred from these functions.
The Somneo flagship: breathe wind-down and ambient sounds
The Philips Somneo HF3650/60 has coloured sunrise and sunset functions, RelaxBreathe, natural sounds and FM radio. Its sunrise transition takes 30 minutes, per Philips' US product page. That figure comes from a US-market page. The page describes a transition from morning red through orange to yellow, which provides context for what Philips means by a coloured sunrise.
RelaxBreathe is described as a light-guided breathing routine. It is a separate feature from an alarm sound, a sunset timer or FM radio. The HF3651/01 also lists RelaxBreathe, so the feature is not treated here as exclusive to the Somneo reference. This guide describes its operation without promising relaxation, improved sleep or another health effect.
Read this feature reference by its exact model code, and keep the US-page specification attached to that code. The HF3650/60 Amazon AU page returned Page Not Found on 30 September 2026. There is no Philips product card or purchase link in this guide. Its documented functions remain useful for explaining the terms found in wake-up light comparisons.
How the blonbar, Dreamegg and ecozy compare with the Philips Somneo
The blonbar AJ350A offers gradual brightening, stepless dimming, dual alarms and 10 natural sounds. Dreamegg's Sunrise 1 D26 adds a documented 5 to 60 minute sunrise setting, three alarm modes and a 29-sound machine. The ecozy AC-SCE60A AU listing describes a 0 to 60 minute sunrise, a 10 to 480 minute sunset, white noise and Bluetooth time sync. These differences describe the light, sound and timing functions available for comparison.
The Philips Somneo HF3650/60 reference describes coloured sunrise and sunset, RelaxBreathe, natural sounds and FM radio. Its 30-minute sunrise description is attributed to Philips' US product page. A breathing routine, a sound-machine catalogue and clock-time sync are different functions, so compare the one you will actually use.
On sound, the blonbar lists 10 natural sounds, the Dreamegg 29 sound-machine sounds plus five wake sounds, and the ecozy's listing title gives 26 sounds, while the Somneo reference wakes you with natural sounds or FM radio. On display brightness, the blonbar offers three levels, the Dreamegg a 0 to 100% range and the ecozy four settings. Somneo remains an educational reference because its checked Amazon AU page was unavailable.
Where to buy a sunrise alarm clock in Australia
Amazon AU, JB Hi-Fi, David Jones, Bunnings and Nodiee direct appear in the dated retail examples below. The dates in the retail examples below identify when we captured the Amazon AU listings or rechecked the other retailer listings under the names those retailers use. We could not confirm the Kmart and Kogan listings at the 2 October 2026 recheck, so they are not included. These dates identify the evidence; they do not establish stock or the power arrangement of a listing viewed later.
| Channel | Dated listing examples | What to compare |
|---|
| Amazon AU, 1 October 2026 | blonbar AJ350A, Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26 and ecozy AC-SCE60A | Exact model and the actual supplied or separately required power adapter |
| JB Hi-Fi, 2 October 2026 | Bodico Sleep Time Sounds & Sunrise Alarm; Pixbee Luma Sunrise Alarm Clock With Charging Dock; Pixbee Alarm Clock Smart Wake Up Light (model PXB-103L) | Documented controls behind the smart label and the exact model's power arrangement |
| David Jones, 2 October 2026 | Lexon Mina Sunrise Alarm Clock, listed by colour (Gunmetal, Alu Polish, Gold, Red and Bronze) | Exact model, supplied adapter and seller terms |
| Bunnings, 2 October 2026 | Mirabella Sunrise Alarm Clock & Night Light | Alarm and bedside-light controls, plus adapter details |
| Nodiee direct (nodiee.com), 2 October 2026 | Nodiee Sleep Assist Smart Sunrise Alarm | Documented model features, power evidence, warranty and return terms |
The historical retailer examples are context for where the category appeared, without a ranking or a current-stock claim. Compare the exact listing rather than transferring specifications from a similarly named product. Before arranging a clock on your bedside table, check the space for the unit, accessible controls and its cable connection.
Our verdict
We name no single pick; compare the documented functions below.
The blonbar, Dreamegg and ecozy offer distinct documented functions. The blonbar AJ350A has dual alarms, stepless dimming, 10 natural sounds and 12 volume levels. Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26 combines an adjustable 5 to 60 minute sunrise with a 29-sound machine and three alarm modes. The ecozy AC-SCE60A has the AU listing's 0 to 60 minute sunrise and 10 to 480 minute sunset settings, white noise and Bluetooth time sync.
The unresolved point is the supplied mains power. The reason is the power adapter: the blonbar's is not identified by model, the ecozy's Australian plug was not shown, and the Dreamegg ships without one, so none was shown to ship with an Australian-plug adapter on the EESS register.
Use the feature tables to compare the routine you want and the live cards to compare current prices. If you want one now, compare the light timing, sounds and display brightness on the live cards, then check the adapter and plug on the exact listing you buy. Philips and Lumie remain educational references with the dated listing and supply limitations explained above; their features do not establish an Australian purchase conclusion.
The RETEYUNG AJ320A pairs a moon lamp with a wake-up light on its first alarm, and the Geuuap offers a 10 to 60 minute sunrise with three wake modes. Check the adapter and plug on the exact listing you buy, as for the first three. Both were in stock on Amazon AU.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do sunrise alarm clocks actually work?
They provide a programmed light ramp before the chosen alarm time, which is the function described by the listings and maker material in this guide. Dreamegg's Sunrise 1 AU listing gives a 5 to 60 minute sunrise setting, while ecozy's AC-SCE60A AU listing gives 0 to 60 minutes. Dreamegg also documents sunrise with sound, sound only and sunrise only modes, so compare the light setting and audible alarm setting separately when planning your routine. Use an audible backup if light alone does not wake you, and assess the documented controls rather than assuming the presence of a light ramp guarantees how you will wake.
Will a Philips wake up light bought online work in Australia?
This guide cannot confirm that a Philips wake up light bought online will work in Australia. The Amazon AU pages for the HF3651/01 and HF3650/60 returned Page Not Found on 30 September 2026, so they are feature references with no purchase cards here. The How we checked section sets out the dated desk research behind that decision. For comparison, the HF3651/01 describes a 30-minute coloured sunrise, 25 brightness settings, eight wake-up sounds, three relaxation sounds, FM radio and RelaxBreathe. The HF3650/60 reference, on Philips' US product page, describes coloured sunrise and sunset, with a 30-minute sunrise transition, natural sounds, FM radio and RelaxBreathe.
Can you buy a Lumie wake up light in Australia?
Some Lumie models appeared through Australian channels, but this guide could not confirm a local buying route for the Bodyclock Luxe 700FM. Lumie's official shop did not ship to Australia when its country options and shipping policy were checked on 30 September 2026. The same 30 September 2026 check found no Australian stockist for that exact model. The 700FM is a feature reference: Lumie lists 15 to 90 minute sunrise and sunset settings, 25+ sleep and wake sounds, FM radio and Bluetooth speakers. Those speakers describe audio playback, while ecozy's Bluetooth time sync sets a clock.
Is a cheap sunrise alarm clock as good as a Philips one?
The documented features do not establish that one clock performs as well as another in a bedroom. The blonbar AJ350A offers dual alarms and stepless dimming, Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26 offers a 5 to 60 minute sunrise with a 29-sound machine, and ecozy AC-SCE60A adds its AU listing's 10 to 480 minute sunset. The Philips references describe coloured sunrise and sunset functions, RelaxBreathe and FM radio, while HF3651/01 also lists 25 brightness settings. Compare those specific functions; the Philips models remain educational references because their Amazon AU pages returned Page Not Found on 30 September 2026.
What is the difference between the Philips models in this guide?
Philips lists eight wake-up sounds and three relaxation sounds for the Sleep and Wake-up Light HF3651/01, while Philips' US page for the Somneo HF3650/60 describes natural sounds or FM radio to complete the wake-up. Both have coloured sunrise and sunset functions, RelaxBreathe and FM radio. HF3651/01 lists 25 brightness settings and no smartphone control, while the 30-minute HF3650/60 sunrise description used here comes from Philips' US product page. These are model-specific educational references; the two checked Amazon AU pages returned Page Not Found on 30 September 2026.
Does the Dreamegg Sunrise 1 come with a power adapter?
No, its Amazon AU listing says the power adapter is not included, although it includes the charging cable used to connect the clock to power. The Dreamegg Sunrise 1 uses a 5 V 2 A USB power adapter, sold separately; use an Australian-compliant adapter rather than assuming an unspecified spare charger meets the requirement. The maker's US storefront describes a package with an adapter, but that does not establish the contents of the AU listing. Its 5 to 60 minute sunrise, three alarm modes and 29-sound machine are separate feature details from the adapter that must be supplied.
Are sunrise alarm clocks good for shift workers?
A timed light can brighten a dark bedroom before a shift worker's chosen wake time, even when that time does not match outdoor sunrise. Compare the clock's programmed light setting with your intended routine, then check whether you want light with sound, sound only or light only where the model documents those modes. Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26 also includes a 29-sound white noise machine, while ecozy AC-SCE60A includes white noise and an AU-listed sunset setting of 10 to 480 minutes. These are light and sound functions for comparison; this guide makes no claim about shift-work sleep. If others are asleep, the Dreamegg's sunrise-only mode lets the light wake you without any sound.
Is there a sunrise alarm clock available in Australia?
Yes, sunrise alarm clocks appeared in Australian listings at this guide's dated checks. At the 2 October 2026 recheck, JB Hi-Fi listed Bodico and Pixbee clocks, David Jones listed Lexon Mina Sunrise, Bunnings listed Mirabella, and Nodiee listed its Sleep Assist Smart Sunrise Alarm on its own site. These are dated listing examples, so recheck the exact model and current stock before ordering. For a feature comparison, blonbar lists dual alarms, Dreamegg lists three alarm modes, and ecozy lists sunrise and sunset settings.
Is a sunrise alarm clock worth it?
Assess it by whether you want programmed light before your chosen alarm time and whether you would use the documented sound or sunset controls. For a room kept dark by curtains, or a wake time before daylight, that gives you a specific function to compare with your existing routine. Separate a feature you would use from one you would leave switched off, and compare current prices on the live cards. If you share the room, the Dreamegg's sound-only and sunrise-only modes let you choose whether light, sound or both wake you.
Why is a sunrise alarm clock good for you?
A sunrise alarm clock can be useful if you want a light to brighten gradually before your chosen alarm time; this guide makes no health claim about that function. The timing varies by model. The blonbar AJ350A listing says its light turns on 10 minutes before the alarm. Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26 lists a 5 to 60 minute sunrise setting and lets you choose sunrise with sound, sound only or sunrise only. The ecozy AC-SCE60A AU listing gives 0 to 60 minutes for sunrise and 10 to 480 minutes for sunset. Compare the light timing, sound mode and bedside display you would use, and keep an audible backup if light alone does not wake you.
What is the highest rated sunrise alarm clock?
This guide does not assign a rating rank, and the table presents each listing's stars and count as separate facts. Use the exact model when reading those entries, rather than transferring a rating from another version or an older product card. Both Philips Amazon AU pages returned Page Not Found on 30 September 2026. Weigh the documented features alongside the stars. The ratings quoted in our text and table are listing snapshots; ratings change over time, and the product cards show the rating from Amazon's product feed, which updates separately.
How do you set the time and turn off a sunrise alarm clock?
Use your exact model's instructions for setting the time and switching off the alarm, because the sources used here do not establish a shared button sequence for these clocks. The ecozy Sunrise Alarm Clock AC-SCE60A can sync its clock time from a phone over Bluetooth, which is a time-setting function rather than proof of app control. For Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26, identify whether you have enabled sunrise with sound, sound only or sunrise only when checking the alarm settings. Keep the model's instructions beside the clock and confirm the time, active alarm and intended mode before relying on the routine. For the ecozy, the manual's steps are: (1) press and hold the Sleep Timer/Time Set button to enter time setting; (2) turn the knob to set the year, month, date, hour format, hour and minute in turn, pressing it to move between settings and finish.
Can I use my iPhone as a sunrise alarm?
Apple's Clock app documentation does not describe a gradual screen-brightening sunrise mode. It lists repeat, label, sound and snooze as alarm options. That answers what the captured Clock support page documents, without making a claim about other apps or iOS features.
What is the best affordable sunrise alarm clock?
Compare the live cards for current prices, alongside the documented light and sound features. Blonbar AJ350A offers dual alarms and stepless dimming, Dreamegg Sunrise 1 D26 combines light with a 29-sound machine, and ecozy AC-SCE60A lists sunrise and sunset settings. Card prices change often, so check them when you are ready to buy.
Which brand of sunrise alarm clock is best?
No single brand is named best in this guide. None of the first three Amazon AU clocks, the blonbar, Dreamegg and ecozy, was shown to ship with an Australian-plug adapter recorded on the EESS register at our 1 to 2 October 2026 check, and we found no EESS record to match for the RETEYUNG AJ320A or the Geuuap at our 5 October 2026 check. Compare the exact model's sunrise setting, sunset setting, sound functions and controls. Philips and Lumie appear only as feature references.
Is Lumie worth the money?
The Bodyclock Luxe 700FM's Australian value can't be judged without a local stockist, and none was confirmed at the 30 September 2026 check. Lumie lists 15 to 90 minute sunrise and sunset settings, 25+ sleep and wake sounds, FM radio and Bluetooth speakers. Its official shop did not ship to Australia in the 30 September 2026 check, so those features remain educational context here.
Which sunrise alarm clock is better, Lumie or Philips?
We compare the two models' features rather than rank the brands. Lumie Bodyclock Luxe 700FM lists 15 to 90 minute sunrise and sunset settings, 25+ sleep and wake sounds, FM radio and Bluetooth speakers. Philips HF3651/01 lists 25 brightness settings, eight wake-up sounds, three relaxation sounds and RelaxBreathe, with no smartphone control. Lumie's official shop did not ship to Australia and no AU stockist for the 700FM was confirmed on 30 September 2026, while both checked Philips Amazon AU pages returned Page Not Found that day.
Does a sunrise alarm clock follow the outdoor sunrise?
No. The light runs on the alarm time you set, not on the outdoor sunrise. The blonbar's listing says its light turns on 10 minutes before the alarm, while the Dreamegg lets you set a 5 to 60 minute sunrise and the ecozy a 0 to 60 minute sunrise.
Do I need an app for a sunrise alarm clock?
Not for the Dreamegg Sunrise 1: its listing says no app, no phone and no complicated setup are required. The ecozy can sync its clock time from a phone over Bluetooth, which sets the time rather than giving app control of the alarm or light. Philips lists no smartphone control for the HF3651/01.
Can you dim the time display on a sunrise alarm clock?
Yes, on the clocks in this guide that document it. The blonbar listing describes three levels of screen brightness, the Dreamegg listing a 0 to 100% dimmable clock display adjusted with a scroll wheel, and the ecozy listing four display brightness settings. The RETEYUNG and Geuuap listings also describe an adjustable or dimmable display for the clock face.
Where should you place a sunrise alarm clock?
Place it on your bedside table, with space for the unit, controls you can reach from bed and a cable that reaches the power point. The ecozy listing says that clock must stay plugged in. Because a bright clock face can matter in a dark room, check whether the display dims; the blonbar, Dreamegg and ecozy listings describe display brightness settings.
