Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 - Wake-up Light Alarm Clock with Radio, 15 Sounds and Sleep Sunset, White

Good overall idea but poorly executed. The time display light is so bright that it defies the whole purpose, especially on sunset mode. There is no way to turn the display light during sunset mode (it will turn only once the “sun” is fully set) so during the whole sunset you have a bright blue light that is stronger than the sunset light itself… it’s light sensor is also really bad and it sometimes starts flickering during the night so you’ll have a bright blue light flashing. The display light is bothering me so much that I ended up returning the item. Too bad as the quality of the “sunlight” is quite good Sound quality is also not great if you want to have the sounds at the same time There is no way to turn off the alarm with one button, you need to go down all the different levels of light that they have available… and you can’t turn off the alarm if you woke up in advance, so you’ll have to wait for it to actually ring to turn it off. It’s also very lightweight so it falls down easily or whenever you press a button if you are not holding it. The display honestly looks like it’s from the 80s… Looks cheap overall and badly executed

I have read several negative reviews about this and was hesitant to buy it. But I really wanted a super bright lamp that simulates sun rise for me to wake up to. I feel it really helps me feel less groggy when waking up in the winter months. I find it easy to use. You can set a one off alarm or schedule them for the whole week. You do have to select the time, turn on the sunrise option and sound each day. But once you do that the alarm will go off every day that you set it for and you don't have to touch those settings again. The light is very bright, exactly what I wanted. The radio works well, and the audio recordings that come with it are fine, I don't use them though as I don't need them. To turn off the lamp you have to press the down arrow for a few seconds. You do not have to press it 20 times. The sunset function you can only start if you already have the light on. You can also set it to stop at night light mode if you have turned on the night light option. At night the display completely turns off which I love! Bright clock displays bother me in a dark room. But you can tap the top of the clock to turn the display on and see the time, then it goes off again by itself. I like the functions I think this clock works well and definitely helps me get up in the morning. I do recommend this.

What a difference to wake up gradually to what feels like natural light. Can choose the time and the duration. The sunset setting is great for unwinding before sleep too. I don’t use the radio or sounds but they work well, particularly to wind down (rain/jungle/birds) Takes a bit of setting up but once you have your wake up times set up for each day of the week you’re grand. Can alter or turn off too on the daily. Just love this item so much My friend who has one of these uses the lowest setting (red/orange light) as a night light - a good option too if you don’t like complete darkness or for children Mine is set up in front of a mirror too which makes it feel like daylight coming through the window. I set mine up across the room which is bright enough to wake me but not startling

As someone who struggles with dark winter mornings, I decided to give the Philips Wake-up Light a try. Overall, I’m pleased with my purchase, though there are a few pros and cons to consider. Pros: • The sunrise simulation works brilliantly, gradually brightening the room and making it much easier to wake up naturally. • It has significantly improved my morning routine, helping me feel more refreshed and alert when I start my day. • The light quality is pleasant and not harsh on the eyes, mimicking natural sunlight effectively. Cons: • Initial setup was challenging, and I found the instructions a bit unclear in some areas. • I’m still unable to figure out how to use the sunset feature, which is disappointing as it was one of the reasons I bought this model. Overall Impression: Despite the setup difficulties, the core function of simulating a sunrise works exceptionally well. The gradual increase in light really does make a difference in how I feel when waking up. It’s especially helpful during the darker months when natural light is scarce in the mornings. The inability to use the sunset feature is frustrating, and I wish the user manual or setup process was more intuitive. However, the benefits of the sunrise feature alone make this a worthwhile purchase for me. If you’re primarily interested in the wake-up light function and don’t mind a bit of a learning curve, I would recommend this product. Just be prepared to spend some time figuring out all the features. 4 out of 5 stars - Great concept and effective wake-up function, but room for improvement in user-friendliness.

I love this alarm clock, it makes such a difference gently waking up to light in the morning rather than being startled awake by a loud alarm. I also like the sunset option, which gradually reduces the light and is surprisingly relaxing. The sound isn't particularly good if you're planning to use it as a radio, but other than that everything is great and I wouldn't be without it now!

I love this, I fall asleep easily and peacefully with the relaxing sunset and gentle thunderstorm sound effect and wake slowly and comfortably with a sunrise. Its an amazingly natural light source and really helps with your body clock. It has many sound effects and adjustable timing on settings - quite a versatile model this one so you can adapt it to suit you more so than the other models. I choose the blackbird sound effect to wake me, but the sunrise (and only on the 15 min setting) does this effectively alone - no sudden waking up any more with a loud alarm! You feel better for it. Took a bit of time to get used to operating wise- for instance you pre-set sunrise brightness, timing and sound etc and then you are good to go - you just press sunrise 'on' button the night before and the sunrise will begin the next morning from red to bright in the timing you set, and alarm noise (if set) will go off at the end of the desired sunrise time - but sunset pre-set is different - you have to set' no light' in the settings and put the light on manually yourself before you activate the sunset unless you want some level of night light on constantly as you sleep, the rest fades out. Took a while to figure how to get the sunset to fade - but if you have the light turned on to full before pressing your sunset preset button it then fades the light and sound together (as long as you have light option set 'off' on sunset - if light is set 'on' or on nightlight it does not fade out with sound effect but remains on until you manually turn it off) - a little confusing but hoping this will help new users faster than me now I've figured it out! Once its up and running its fantastic, so don't let this put you off - its just a matter of understanding it! Than its very easy to operate with button for sunrise (set alarm for next day) and sunset etc. Have not used radio yet as I didn't really buy it for that but got this model as it was on an offer at same price as model below it. Great product, wouldn't be without it too and it looks attractive on bedside table!
