Nightstand light for "morning sun"

[PaladinNO]

We got long winters here in Norway, and I know from experience how much more pleasant it is to wake up when there is light outside.

So I am looking for a tail stand-able light with a wide spread (mule or diffused) that can simulate the almost orange light from a morning sun in my bedroom. I am thinking 1800-2500K. Basically a more powerful candle light. No need for anything extremely powerful for this, it's just a "gentle wake-up" light, getting the brain going.

Currently looking at a Convoy 3X21 519A 2700K (not sure if it will be "yellowy" enough) or Emisar D4K E21A 2000K.

The most yellow light I currently have is a Convoy S2+ 319A 3000K (my first "custom" light <3), and I want something even more yellow than that.
My bedroom walls are warm white, with the bed in the middle of it, so any light will be easily distributed throughout the room from the night stand.

EDIT:
A regular, non-diffused can likely work as well. The ceiling is white too, so just projecting something up to it may also work. That would make the light more sun-like too.

No one? No suggestions of alternative, good amber / orange emitters or flashlight models?
I'll go for Emisar D4K E21A 2000K then.

I have seen alarm clock- lamps that gradually get lighter to simulate sunrise.
I don't remember the tint on them.

Edit: if you Google “sunrise alarm clock” there are a bunch of options. Some seem to have a pretty warm tint.

Thanks, I didn't consider a clock with a lamp in it.
...But damn, are those expensive (at least the ones I would actually want)! I can get a properly spec'ed Hank light for the same money. 🤔

Thank you for the suggestion, but I think I just want a flashlight. Already got a clock, placed outside the room to make sure I get out of bed before turning it off. And not just whack it to make it shut up, and turn around.

As my brain is a mix of fog and half-risen dough at this point, seeing the pitch black darkness out all the windows is not a very nice start every morning. So I figured blasting my face with something really yellow and a nice tint and good CRI would get the brain synapses going.

If you do a Google search for "amber flashlight" several possibilities come up.

Sure, but I was hoping for some personal experiences with amber / yellow lights. Or opinions on my considerations.
And Reddit doesn't really count as a reliable source of information, hence posting this question here. Though I read about others on Reddit using a yellow light as a bed stand light for the exact same reason as I will be. But I intend to use mine in the morning, and not in the evening.

But it's okay, I have made up my mind now. I'm getting a E21A 2000K. D4K, DT8K or DW4K.

I have several of this companies amber lights - they are excellent. Just google….. blockbluelight and it should come up.
Let me know what you think….

Thread solved:
Just ordered an Emisar DT8K Nichia E21A 2000K.

Can post some photos after it arrives if interesting.

Phillips makes sunrise/sunset lamps, as well as blue light lamps. Might be worth a look!

Also, if it's true that Norway has amazing medical, would you be able to get a sleep aid/medical subsidy to offset the phillips lamp? Or does it not work that way?

I have looked at several such "mood lamps" and "sunrise lamps" - price for each of them equals 1-3 Hank lights.

If someone has a sleep related medical condition verified by a doctor, I think such lamps can fall into at least a partially subsidised category, if there is reason to believe it could help. I know I don't have a condition regarding sleep, so I won't get any "medical discounts".

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am set on the DT8K 2000K. Being a flashlight, I can also bring it with me much easier than any lamp. 🙂
