Summary

As a project for our electrical engineering (for mechanical engineers) class, and since Ottawa mornings can be extremely dark, me and my group decided to build a lamp that could simulate the sunrise during the morning to help with waking up. My modular gear reducers, which i posted about a month ago, were designed for, and played a huge role in, this project.

Once built, the lamp plugs into a wall timer, and as long as the control switch is open (optional part) the lamp begins turning on as soon as electricity is applied from the wall timer.

These kinds of lamps exist for purchase, but usually go for around $200. We spent around $70 total, but you could definitely build it for much less.
