Useful LED light

Lighted clocks sometimes have the drawback of being too light. But sometimes light is useful.

Case in point the less-jarring, more gentle, wake-up light alarm clocks.

The Philips Wakeup Light simulates a sunrise 30 minutes before your alarm. A broad beam fills the whole room with orange light, transitioning to a warm white, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Brookstone Tranquil Moments Pro Sleep System combines wakeup light with specialized sound-therapy.
