This $27 sunset lamp from Kmart makes golden hour last all day

You'll never turn the big light on again

Why wait for the afternoon when you can stay surrounded by the sunset all day long?

Want to boost the mood in your room but don’t know where to start? Kmart has you covered, with a lamp that’s infinitely prettier than the overhead light. 

The Smart Wi-Fi LED Sunset Light projects a warm gradient of yellows, greens, reds, blues or purples across your room. And the best part? It's only $27.

Perfect for entertaining, you can adjust the colours, gradient and brightness from your phone through the Genio app, or use the music-activated light mode to improve the vibe of your party.

At just 26cm x 10cm, the sunset lamp is small and light enough to carry from room to room, so you can bring the sunset with you throughout your house. 

It's also compatible with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, so you can take golden hour into your bedroom, bathroom and beyond.

How to use the Kmart sunset lamp

If you want to start your day in a good mood, but don’t love the sun shining directly into your eyes when you go to bed with your blinds open, you can schedule the sunset lamp to turn on in the morning for a nicer wake-up.

And at bedtime, you can use the $27 lamp to help you wind down.

We know blue light is the enemy of sleep, and studies suggest red light can help you rest better, boosting your production of the sleep hormone melatonin. 

Sleep physician Dr Pranshu Adavadkar says “if you need light [at night], choose warm colors like red or amber”, as they don’t “trick your brain into thinking it’s still daytime” like blue light does.
