Lighting system as a wake up tool.

Have now been using a light or lighting system as a morning wake up for over 15 years. It’s life changing.

Lights start off dim and red/orange, and brighten very slowly to warm white. Works every time.

I wake up without the jolt of an alarm at home.

In fact - automated lighting in general - just so good.

Similar, but lighting system as a sleep tool. Lights start off warm white and slowly dim to amber / red, then off at the push of a button every night.

Same here - it just started as wake up. :)

As a nightshift worker, using lights to wake up is a strange concept...

What one do you use? I tried this but the one I bought even the dimmest setting wakes me up when it comes on.

Phillips Hue, 800 lumen colour bulbs. We have three in our bedroom.

It also depends on how they’re controlled. We do most of our control through HomeBridge/HomeKit but for wake-ups we’ve continued to use the Hue app-configured automations as the soft-on and ramp up are the most gentle.

We were using a dedicated Phillips light alarm clock before the automated lights.
