The Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 Wake-Up Alarm Clock is available at Argos for £99, but with the discount code HOME25, shoppers can get 25% off, reducing the price to £74.25. The deal comes ahead of the clocks going back on Sunday, October 25.
The gadget mimics a sunrise to ease sleepers into the morning naturally, offering a gentler alternative to a traditional alarm. It uses a 30-minute gradual light that builds in brightness, with adjustable settings to suit individual preferences.
Features and Design
The device also includes a fading sunset feature to help shoppers wind down in the evening, which can fade to off or remain in nightlight mode. Mixed LEDs recreate proper sunrise and sunset colours, according to the site, while the digital display automatically dims based on the light level in the room to avoid glare in the dark.
The snooze function provides a few extra minutes when needed, and there is an optional alarm beep if the light alone is not enough. It also features a power failure backup, so users will not miss their alarm if there is a blip overnight. The light sensor adjusts the display brightness automatically, and the product comes with a three-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Shopper Reviews
The Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 has been rated highly by Argos shoppers. One said: "I love it. It helps wake me up gently in the morning, and the night-time feature helps me drift off. So glad I bought it."
A second wrote: "I bought the Lumie Bodyclock last month and have used it every day since. It is without doubt the best way to be woken. There is no more 'hit the snooze' button and I feel that I am sleeping better, too." A third added: "This has made my morning routine so much better. It very gently wakes you up with light, which is a better way to wake up early than an obnoxiously loud phone alarm."
Others deducted stars in their reviews, such as one person who said: "I bought this for a birthday present. It is simple to use and has made her very happy. While it's value for money, I would say it is very basic in design." Another commented: "Loved the idea of this clock but it was awkward to handle for an older person with arthritic hands. No problem returning it."
