Gain renewed energy and an increased sense of well-being with the Beurer WL 75 and WL 90 wake up lights or the TL 100 daylight lamp. Due to the complex demands of our everyday lives, it is often difficult for us to relax. In addition to this, the human body produces more melatonin in the months with less sunshine, which can result in tiredness and makes it difficult for us to get up in the morning. A lack of light prevents the production of the happy hormone serotonin, which is said to significantly influence our well-being. Using the Beurer wake up light and the Beurer daylight lamp in the morning helps you to get enough light and therefore adjusts your melatonin production and brightens your mood. The ""beurer LightUp"" app provides you will extensive functions for operating your device. Please note that the availability of certain functions varies depending on the individual products: ALARM – With the simulated sunrise and the selection of different melodies, you wake up gently every morning and can start the day feeling well rested. DAYLIGHT – Enjoy daylight at any time of the day and choose the intensity level MOOD LIGHT – Free your spirit with the preset light scenes and an additional choice of 256 colours.
