Bodyclock Luxe 750D
Lumie is a specialist light therapy company, and the Luxe 750D is a certified Class I medical device in Europe. It features a dedicated low-blue light 'sunset' mode to promote melatonin production before bed, which most sunrise-only clocks lack.
Quality & Materials
Medical-grade LEDs with adjustable duration (15-90 minutes). The light output is calibrated for therapeutic lux levels to assist with SAD and circadian rhythm disorders.
Evidence & Testing
Lumie products are developed based on research from the University of Cambridge and meet the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC.
Brand Transparency
Fully transparent about lux output and the specific wavelength shift from blue-enriched (morning) to blue-depleted (evening).
Value Assessment
Premium pricing reflects its status as a medical device rather than a consumer electronic toy.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most sunrise alarms use standard white LEDs that still emit significant blue light during evening use. Lumie's hardware specifically filters blue light for the evening 'fading sunset' feature, making it a true 24-hour circadian tool.
