natural light alarm clock

I'm going to purchase an alarm clock that wakes me up my making the room brighter.

Your job, my beloved researcher, is to create a Greatest Hits album of
these products: Surf for as many products as you can, then come up
with a list of 3-6 "best" products.

Here are my key wishes (none are critical, though):

--) Dim mode for bed-time reading

--) Self contained (no addl lamp required) UNLESS your research
suggests that a controller-unit-and-lamp is a better route

Thx.

I have owned a Bio-Brite sunrise clock which I liked very much.  It
had a dawn-dusk feature.  I didn't use the dusk feature, which was a
gradual dimming of the light, but I did use the dawn feature which was
instead a gradual increasing of light.  I also owned a controller/lamp
model which worked similarly.
