Sunrise clock /night light

My 12 year old is wanting a light on to sleep. She is happy with it low/dim but she keeps falling asleep while it is on full. I am often asleep before her and sometimes wake in middle of night to see light blaring. She admits when this happens she doesnt sleep aswell.

What I want is some sort of lamp that goes dark gradually say over an hour or 2 at the press of a button. Not at a specific time. Any ideas?

I've got this which is quite good. It will go over 45 mins from bright light, through orange and red (simulating sunset) dimming till it switches off; and you can have it do the reverse in the morning to wake you up.

The built in noises are too loud for my liking, but they are optional. The display isn't very big - I have a standard clock next to it (I only use the Lumie in winter).

They do other options with longer shut down times and features such as DAB, or more basic versions depending how much you want to spend.

Thanks for the links. Getting a bit lost as so many in amazon. This is too one looks gmgood , if it had the same feature at bedtime that it does at sunrise would be perfect. Nightlight looks easy enough to change brightness so maybe I need to accept this is as good as will get unless I am willing to pay £120 for the lumie which does look good! Just so pricey if it doesnt work for us.

There are a few of the Lumies preloved or refurbished on eBay for around half the price if you would consider that as an option.

I love my sunrise sunset clock and its great for falling asleep with the light on because of the timer feature. Look on fb market place or vented for secondhand ones.
