There have to be uncountable numbers of lamps, timers, and home automation solutions that can gradually bring the lights up at sunrise or whenever you'd like to arise. Or if you insist upon the shades being raised as your solution, about five hundred US dollars will get you an automated shade that can be configured. Ikea has some coming out (oh, real soon now, they've said for the past year) that are less expensive, but I don't know how well they block light.
- jolmg 7y agoArtificial light doesn't feel the same. I imagine those configurable shades work based on time like an alarm; that's a good idea.
- mikestew 7y agoThe shades I'm thinking of (both Ikea, and others) work with Apple's HomeKit (et. al.), so you can automate it however you like. Sunrise, five minutes before you wake up, fast open, slow open...
- AngryData 7y agoIf you got something like the newer white grow light LEDs it might. I might suggest something like samsung LM301B LEDs for their excellent efficiency.
- ericd 7y agoDo you know of any that can read the time of a phone alarm automatically and start opening slowly x minutes beforehand?
