Lumie has made light therapy products since 1991, and the Bodyclock Shine 300 is the model in its range that best balances features and price for a light-first wake-up. The sunrise and the evening sunset can each run anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes, which matters if a 30 minute dawn feels too abrupt, and you can set how bright the sunrise ends. Sound is optional: there are 15 sleep and wake sounds and an FM radio, with tap-control snooze on top of the unit. You can set daily or weekly alarms, so weekends can start later without changing settings each Friday. At night the light-sensitive display fades to low or turns off, which helps light sleepers. Lumie lists a 3-year warranty and a 45-day trial, and the product page mentions no app or subscription. The trade-offs are a simpler color range than Philips or Loftie, and a $5 US shipping charge on top of the $169.00 price.

Adults who want a long, adjustable sunrise and a full set of alarm options without an app or subscription.
