Ambient Lighting Alarms

The JBL Horizon Gentle Alarm Clock Uses Soft Light to Wake You Up

— November 17, 2014 — Art & Design
If you aren't a morning person, you might prefer a gentle alarm clock to ensure you get up on the right side of the bed (especially when you would rather not get out of bed at all). In the winter months when sunlight is scarce to begin with, the JBL Horizon alarm clock will help as it wakes you up not with harsh sound, but ambient lighting.

The small digital clock results in a more peaceful and pleasing morning. The gentle alarm clock has an LED light that gradually grows brighter to wake you up. There are other light alarm clocks out there, but the JBL Horizon distinguishes itself by also offering high-quality speakers. Whether you prefer traditional radio or wireless smartphone streaming, you can enjoy morning tunes too.
Trend Themes
1. Gentle Alarm Clocks - The rise of gentle alarm clocks that use soft light to wake people up presents an opportunity for companies to develop innovative products that prioritize peaceful and pleasing mornings.
2. Ambient Lighting - The popularity of ambient lighting in alarm clocks provides a platform for businesses to create unique lighting solutions that enhance the waking up experience.
3. Integration of Audio and Lighting - The integration of high-quality audio speakers with soft light alarm clocks creates opportunities for companies to design devices that offer a complete waking up experience, combining immersive audio with soothing lighting.
