The conceptual 'Shine' alarm clock is a clever piece of technology for the bedside table that sports a dual-purpose design that will help you wake up in the morning and offer illumination in the night, when required.
Designed by Andrew Ferrier, the clock features a dot matrix display that will continuously show the time, while the whole unit sits on a wireless charging base. When the clock is removed from the base, the integrated flashlight will be activated to make late-night trips to the bathroom or the kitchen won't result in any stumbling.
The conceptual 'Shine' alarm clock also uses the integrated light technology to gently wake up the person in the morning to make the process much better in comparison to traditional alarms.
