blonbar Sunrise Alarm Clock Wake-up Light Touch Lamp with Aurora Borealis & 10 Sounds (Grey)
Product description
The essentials
If you’re after a bedside clock that does more than just beep at the time, the blonbar Sunrise Alarm Clock is built around a wake-up light approach. On paper, it blends a gradual sunrise-style light, an alarm setup with two separate alarms, and a touch lamp night light mood using Aurora Borealis-style lighting. There’s also white noise with a built-in countdown timer, which is handy if you tend to fall asleep to sound rather than silence.
It’s not a “set-and-forget” smartwatch experience, but it’s designed to be used every day with minimal fuss. The main limitation to keep in mind is that the wake-up light function only works when everything is set up correctly (including the timing note provided by the manufacturer).
Key features that affect daily use
The standout is Alarm 1, which uses the wake-up light that ramps up gradually before the alarm time. The intent is gentler than a sudden ringtone—especially if you find standard alarms jarring. If you mute the ringtone of Alarm 1, you can focus on that light-led wake-up, which some people will find more natural.
There are two independent alarms, and you can customise them to match your routine. Alarm 1 is the “gentle wake-up light” alarm, while Alarm 2 is described as a regular alarm, so you’re not forced into one wake-up style.
On top of that, there’s a snooze function that stays fairly humanised: pressing SNOOZE gives a 10-minute snooze window, with up to 3 snooze opportunities. It also mentions adjusting screen brightness to avoid bright stimulation, which is a small thing, but it can matter if you’re sensitive to light in the early hours.
What you’ll notice in the room
The Aurora Borealis night light is there for atmosphere. The description frames it as creating a dreamlike ambience in the bedroom, and the touch lamp element suggests you can interact with it without hunting for buttons in the dark.
You should also note the setup requirement: the adapter is included, and the unit needs to be connected to a power source to run. That means it’s not the sort of device you can casually move around the room if you’re expecting battery-only operation.
A practical micro-scenario: imagine you wake up briefly in the night, the screen brightness is lowered during snooze, and you’re not blasted by a harsh light. Then, when morning comes, Alarm 1 starts the gradual light ramp rather than waiting for the full alarm time to make itself known.
Sound options: soothing, but check your preference
The clock includes 10 kinds of white noise, with examples such as birds chirping, rain, running water, and campfire. It also offers a countdown timer after turning on the music/sound, and once the countdown finishes, the sound turns off automatically—useful if you like to drift off without manually switching it off.
This is a plus if you sleep better with background sound. It might be less appealing if you prefer full silence, or if you’re very particular about which ambience you want (you’d be relying on the included list rather than loading your own tracks).

One more thing worth noting: the wake-up light timing is specifically described as ramping up 15 minutes before the alarm. The manufacturer also adds that, if you want to experience the wake-up light function after first receiving it, you should set Alarm 1 to a time after 15 minutes. That’s simple enough, but it’s also the kind of detail that can trip people up if they set the alarm immediately.
Who it suits (and who should think twice)
It’s a good fit if you want a gentler morning routine, like the idea of waking up to increasing light rather than relying purely on a ringtone. It also suits people who like bedroom ambience—Aurora-style lighting—and anyone who uses white noise as part of falling asleep.
It may not be the best match if you’re hoping for a multi-feature smart home device or something purely battery-free. Since operation relies on connection to a power source (via the included adapter), it’s also less convenient for people who need a clock that can be placed anywhere with no cables.
Worth considering if you’re okay following the wake-up light timing note and you’re willing to set Alarm 1 intentionally, rather than assuming it will always behave like a traditional alarm straight away.
Is it worth it?
Buy the blonbar Sunrise Alarm Clock if your priority is a wake-up light that ramps up 15 minutes before Alarm 1, plus the option of soothing white noise with an auto-off countdown. The two-alarm setup also gives you flexibility between a gentle alarm routine and a more standard alarm when needed.
Skip it if you want a device that’s truly hassle-free out of the box without paying attention to the 15-minute ramp timing, or if you expect battery-only convenience. It sits more in the “helpful everyday bedside routine” category than “premium, fully custom sleep lab”, so temper expectations if you’re after highly advanced sleep tracking or advanced smart features.
