description Lumie Bodyclock Iris 500 Overview

The Lumie Bodyclock Iris 500 is a sunrise alarm clock manufactured by Lumie, a United Kingdom-based company that specializes in light therapy products. The device simulates a natural dawn by gradually increasing light intensity before the set wake time, an approach intended to align with the body's circadian rhythm and reduce the abruptness of waking. Sunrise alarm clocks are used by individuals who prefer light-based wake signals over conventional auditory alarms, including those managing seasonal affective disorder or irregular sleep schedules.

help Lumie Bodyclock Iris 500 FAQ

Does the Lumie Bodyclock Iris 500 have a sunset mode to help me fall asleep?

Yes, the Iris 500 features a dual-function design that allows it to simulate both a sunrise to wake you up and a fading sunset to help you drift off at night. You can set the light to gradually dim over a period of 15 to 90 minutes, mimicking a natural dusk.

Can I wake up to the radio or nature sounds on the Lumie Iris 500?

In addition to the dawn-simulating light, this alarm clock includes an integrated FM radio and a selection of built-in nature sounds. You can choose to wake up to the light alone, the audio alone, or a combination of both for a more gradual waking experience.

What type of replacement bulb does the Lumie Bodyclock Iris 500 use?

Unlike modern LED wake-up lights, the Iris 500 utilizes a specialized halogen bulb to simulate the natural color temperature of the sun. Because it relies on a halogen capsule rather than LEDs, you may eventually need to order replacement bulbs directly from Lumie if the original burns out.

Is the Lumie Bodyclock Iris 500 bright enough to act as a bedside reading lamp?

Yes, the lamp features a fully adjustable brightness level that goes up to a maximum of 300 lux, making it perfectly adequate for reading in bed. You can easily tap the touch-sensitive controls to set the light to your preferred intensity for nighttime reading.
