It will become dimmer or brighter depending on ambient light

Alarm clocks may not be as prevalent as they used to be, at least among those who own smartphones, but plenty of people still use them, so Luminaire saw no problem with creating one that had a very special perk.

Which is to say, Luminaire has created an alarm clock, or rather a projection clock, that can automatically adjust its brightness.

It's all based on ambient lighting, you see, and on the projector mounted on the top of the clock like a cannon.

That's right, this clock not only displays the time on a small screen on the front, but it also projects it on any surface in the room (the projector is mounted on a rotating arm).

It is there that the brightness adjustment comes in: depending on how much light there is in the room, the projection gets more or less intense.

On that note, the projector can rotate 180 degrees, but it won't show the time when the alarm is programmed (only the front display shows that).

The projection clock is called Lumo and is coated in rubber. Its price is of $80, which is about the same as €58.33, give or take, according to exchange rates. Orders are already being taken.
