Light therapy specialist Lumie launches a new sleep/wake-up light

As the days draw shorter, the light therapy specialist and industry leader Lumie launches a brand new sleep/wake-up light, Bodyclock Shine 300.

Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 is a Class I Medical Device* that stunningly combines form and function delivering a unique experience of sleeping and waking with light. Building on the essential Lumie Bodyclock functionality, Shine 300 features adjustable sunrise and sunset settings from 15 to 90 minutes, an FM radio and a choice of 14 sleep/wake-up sounds** as well as daily/weekly alarms; nightlight; light-sensitive auto-dimming display and tap-control snooze. 

*Like the rest of the Lumie Bodyclock range, Shine 300 is a Class I Medical Device, which means it has been rigorously tested to European health and safety standards.

**The 14 sleep/wake-up sounds: beep; tropical birds; blackbird; café; goats, steam train, thunderstorm; waves; crickets; ping pong; osprey; kittens purring; and white noise. We've also included the sound of guzheng (Chinese harp) specially performed and recorded for Lumie.

To complete the new upgraded range of Lumie Bodyclock sleep/wake-up lights, Shine 300 introduces clean modern lines, grey hues and an intuitive user-friendly interface into the design of this wake-up light alarm clock. Result? A stylish, minimalist, must-have addition to your bedroom that truly delivers on Lumie’s brand promise of making life bright. 

Simulating a real sunset and sunrise by closely mimicking their colours and diffusing the light 360°, Lumie Bodyclock sleep/wake-up lights positively affect users' well-being and health by helping them unwind at bedtime in a low-blue light environment and letting them wake up naturally to a gradual sunrise.


“To sleep better…you need to get up better! Waking up with light is much more gentle and comfortable than waking up to a rude alarm. Lumie Bodyclock sleep/wake-up lights use light gradually over a period of time to wake you at your desired time gently. Imagine not feeling like you need to snooze! We know that light improves mood significantly so you’re going to be brighter and happier especially in the winter when we are exposed to much less light. Lumie Bodyclock lights combine the light alarm idea with acknowledged therapeutic levels of early morning light that has a high evidence base for improving sleep disorders and mood disorders – we use sleep/wake-up lights for sleep disorders in clinic all the time. Using sleep/wake-up lights also means that you no longer need your phone by your bed – so goodbye social media interfering with sleep!”
Stephanie Romiszewski, Expert Sleep Physiologist, The Sleepyhead Clinic

"Since inventing the first wake-up light in 1993 our focus at Lumie has been to continuously invest in developing light therapy products that make people feel good through an inquisitive research-based approach to innovation. Our primary focus is on perfecting the nature of the light itself. Building on that, we have introduced new and improved light and sound technologies into the brand new range of Bodyclock products to create reliable, effective and beautifully designed state-of-the-art sleep/wake-up lights. With the intricate mix of warm white, orange and red LEDs the gradual sunrise and sunset is smoother and even more real than ever before. Careful research and development led to advancing our software and product design, which in turn means better and more intuitive interface; user friendly yet still minimalist We are very proud of the new range – and excited as ever to keep on enhancing the experience of falling asleep and waking with light" Jonathan Cridland, CEO of Lumie 

Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300  (RRP £125) is available for pre-order now on lumie.com and soon at John Lewis and on Amazon.
