No, it absolutely is not. Light you get from some Walmart alarm clock is the wrong temperature, the wrong CRI, and about 1/1000th of the right intensity.

You can replicate it for the low-to-mid 5 digits: https://www.coelux.com/

That's because people don't actually want a portable sun (say, 10-20k lum D65) in their room. If you do want one, you can buy one for less than $100, and plug it into a $10 timer.

You're buying into their marketing pretty hard...
