Lexon Mina Sunrise Alarm Clock & Wake-up Light | Dark Red

The Mina Sunrise by the French design brand Lexon is an alarm clock with a lamp that imitates the sunrise. Half an hour before the alarm, the light starts deep blue and gradually turns warm white, so you wake to light rather than to a sound. In the evening it travels the same way back, from orange to red.

Waking up before the alarm sounds

Thirty minutes before your waking time the lamp begins to glow in dark blue tones and slowly works that colour up to warm white. That light slows the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, so your body starts to wake before any sound. When the alarm does sound, you choose from five melodies and natural sounds. There is a snooze as well.

And the other way round in the evening

In sunset mode the light sinks from orange to red over thirty minutes — the colours your eyes wake up to least in the evening. You can also use the lamp independently of the alarm, in nine colours from 2800 K to 6000 K, as a reading light or as a quiet night light. It remembers the last colour you set for next time.

There is also a night mode that turns the screen completely black between 10 pm and 8 am, so no digits are glowing overnight. Do note that this mode only works while the clock is connected to the cable.

You operate it with your hand on the top

The whole lamp is the button. Press the top to change colour, hold it to dim, and tap it to switch the alarm off. So there is no menu, and nothing to look for at night.

Charged in five hours

The Mina Sunrise charges over the included USB-C cable and is full in about five hours. How long it lasts depends on what you use: with the alarm sound only up to four months, with sunrise mode as well up to a month, and as a lamp up to twenty-four hours. At eleven centimetres across and 235 grams it sits on a bedside table without filling it.
