VOBOT HALO

CONSIDERATE ALARM CLOCK

Multiple studies have shown that exposure to gradually increasing early morning light is important for the body’s internal clock to function correctly, so that you wake up feeling more rested. But contemporary bedrooms tend to have heavy blinds that shut out the daylight. Enter ‘Vobot Halo’, a multifunctional device that combines a dimmable smart light and a voice-controlled alarm clock. Developed by Vobot, which launched its first smart clock with Amazon Alexa two years ago, the gadget offers a sunlight simulation function that is conducive to gentle awakenings and customizable alarm sounds. It also functions as a bedside lamp with ten different brightness settings and a whopping 16 million color options to tint the light. What’s more, it has a voice-activating function, which makes it ready for the smart home. The design is suitably futuristic, making the clock an impressive interior piece. getvobot.com/halo
