    I have one of these already but my son’s took it from my room and put it in theirs because they wanted it. Haha honestly this product is great I would recommend it to anyone.

    I have struggled previously with dark winter mornings getting up for work, but this clock is a life saver, I instantly wake up feeling good and not exhausted. This has really helped me, as I’ve struggled with feeling depressed, this is great for me and wish I would have bought one sooner.

    Really like this clock. So much nicer to wake up gently with light growing gradually than being jerked awake in the dark. The alarm is quiet and gentle (I use one that sounds like a cuckoo, but there are a few choices). It’s made it a lot easier to get up on winter mornings. It will be pointless in the summer though.

    You wake up much more fresh and less grumpy in dark winter mornings.

    I’ve used this for over 4 years now. It’s a bit expensive yes, and doesn’t have premium features but I now cannot live without it. When I forget to turn the alarm on I feel awfully groggy and notice a big difference in my attitude and mood. It could be brighter, yes, but I have it on my bedside table right next to my face, this helps and I now don’t have any complaints. 4 years on and I don’t care that it cost 80-90. It’s so worth the money for me.

    An amazing alarm clock. Gone are the days of alarm anxiety. I now wake up gently instead of having a heart attack at a shrieking alarm or fearing missing a more subtle chime.

    I’d highly recommend this if you’re struggling with an alarm clock.

    Got this for the kids to help them wake up in winter. Choose it as it was LED and plastic. It is easy to use and has good Features like multi-level dimming of the display so that it is not too bright at night. The light comes on gradually over about half an hour. One child wakes with the light alone, the other wakes when the bird song comes on.

    The volume of the alarm sound can be altered from almost inaudible to loud enough to just be heard from another room. One press tip turn of the alarm sound and plus and minus buttons to dim or turn up the light.

    You can adjust how brightly the light ends up – from very dim to really bright.

    Does not get hot when the light is on as it is LED lighting.

    The natural waking means the kids usually wake up by themselves and in a good mood.

    I’ve had this product for 4 weeks now. This is a great product, although looks and feels a little cheap. It’s very lightweight but this is because its made from plastic so I have to be careful not to knock it over. The plug cable is longer than average which is a bonus.
    I like the two birdsong options for the alarm. The radio is a nice addition but sound isn’t great. The 10 light stages work perfectly for me and wake me up gradually. Setting the clock and alarm is relatively simple. The numbers are quite luminous at night.

    Overall its a good product, I think its a bit cheap looking and feeling for the cost, but it works like it is meant to and I’m glad I got it as it does wake me up without feeling groggy.

    I purchased this after my original Philips wake up light broke after 10 years. I wasn’t keen on the new round design and thought I might not be as happy with it as I was with the original light. I’ve had it for 2 days now and I’m very pleased with it and glad I purchased it. The light is bright enough to use as a bedside reading light when on full but can be turned all the way down, the brightness of the clock numbers can be adjusted, the radio is excellent and I like the choice of 2 birdsongs as the alarm. I found everything very easy to set up and use and just hope this one lasts as long as the original did!

    I love this light alarm clock. I have been struggling to wake up with the dark mornings and do not like conventional alarm clocks. Too easy to turn off , and i am not keen on the sudden wake of an alarm sound. With this Phillips morning light alarm I wake properly and naturally, usually before the actual alarm sounds! A great purchase. I found it easy to set up and use. Love i

    Have been used the light for a few weeks now and it properly did its job. A few mins before your clock time, it will slowly increase the brightness until it reaches the highest brightness that you set.
    During our winter daylight saving in Ireland, it really helped me to be awake without trouble.

    -1 star, as there is no battery in the device and I have to get a socket extension in the room: offering a chargable battery will be 100% great.

    This is a beautiful object in itself — the design is simple and very easy on the eye. And the birdsong that goes with the sun-up light is just so nice. Loving this.

    Product is great BUT it was delivered in it’s Philips box with an amazon label on it – no outer protective packaging at all. I tested the contents and they seem to work fine but I want to give this as a gift. So a) there was no added protection for its transit and b) as I want to give it as a gift I have to leave the (quite large) amazon label on the box which really detracts from it. There’s absolutely no way I can get the label off. But I’m glad there wasn’t any damage to the contents of the box, or even the box as I have to wrap that up. I would have given 5 stars if it had been packaged properly.

    his may be one of the best purchases i’ve made. It complete changes the way you wake up in the morning. Instead of a sharp waking up from a iphone alarm this gradually wakes you up. The difference in how you feel for the rest of the day is remarkable.

    I bought this years ago and have no idea how I got by without it. Still working as well as it did from day one. Only slight downside I would say is that you can only have increased brightness across 30 minutes, think I would prefer more gradual brightness across at least 45mins. It was on the pricey side at the time i bought it but I’ve used it almost every day for years

    This replaced a much cheaper copy brand. Not a radio-controlled clock so needs resetting at the Spring and Fall equinoxes. It’s ‘smart’ enough that the dimmed button lights brighten as your fingers approach them so you can see what you’re pressing but the clock itself needs to be set by a human. Also it doesn’t gradually dim for bedtime. Other than that it’s pretty sound and sturdy.

    A great little alarm clock, a number of different brightness settings, you can dim the display which is ideal. I was worried it wouldn’t wake me up, but I frequently find myself awake before the radio kicks in. All in all, a great purchase

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIt’s hard to decide which light alarm clock to choose, I was really happy with this one. The light comes on over a half hour period and it almost always wake me up before the birds start cheeping. You can reduce the brightness of the red light telling the time. In winter it has completely transformed my mornings and made it so much easier to face the day.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI really like this lamp – it definitely works and wakes me up much better than a sudden loud alarm! However, for the money, it feels a touch lacking. You can only have one alarm time – so no weekend settings. It is really easy to set and turn on each day but it feels a little bit manual – you have to make sure the alarm icon is on each night by pressing a button – which is easy enough to set in fairness. My other issue is that it is really lightweight – it’s not much of a grumble but with the touch sensitive buttons, the unit tends to move around the bedside table quite a bit. The light is lovely and bright on full setting. The bird noises are nice and work really well. As others have said, if the device is unplugged you immediately lose the time and alarm settings, so you have to set them again. It really should have some sort of memory for the price it is! There’s an FM radio too with an aerial if you’d rather wake to that. Overall, I’m defintely keeping it but I’m sure there are probably better value alternatives.

    I often wake up feeling moody and tired in the winter despite getting 7-8 hours sleep. Used it for the first time this morning and woke up feeling happy and refreshed. It does what it says on the tin. I’m very happy with the fact that you can turn the clock display right down so it doesn’t disturb your sleep. It makes a very good reading light too. My only small gripe with it is that it doesnt take batteries as a back up incase of a power cut.

    I bought this alarm when it was on sale since I’d seen it recommend elsewhere. I have to say it’s been so useful. My boyfriend is usually impossible to wake up in the morning – I have to pull of the covers, push him a bit and everything. Since we got this alarm he’s either straight up with the alarm sounds (birds chirping) or woken beforehand by the light.

    It’s also just a really useful light. I like putting it on when I’m cleaning the room because the light which mimics sunrise is very energizing.

    I love this, it definitely wakes me up more gently and leaves me feeling more awake than a normal alarm. I still need a sound alarm (I use the radio) to get me to wake up properly, but when I’m up I’m up, not drowsy and grumpy like usual! Would be nice with a DAB radio but this one works for me.

    Bought this as a gift to replace another well-known branded clock whose light was horribly bright, and had a beep that rivalled a smoke detector.
    As I understand it, this can be configured for both light and sound, but all I know is when it goes off in the morning I don’t feel like I’ve been blinded by headlights anymore but can still see well enough to not put my socks on inside out, and the cuckoo sound (others are no doubt available) is gentle. The recipient still doesn’t get up on time but that’s not a fault of the clock!

    This product is overall very good. Minor criticisms: the radio antenna wire is a bit naff, ruins the overall aesthetic. Also for the price you might expect there to be DAB radio, unfortunately there is only FM.

    honestly don’t know how I’ve managed to get through so many winters without this – love the fact it can be used as a lamp on the various light settings – the alarm noise could be improved but honestly that’s me being picky.
    Works really well – I get up early to go to the gym before work and the gentle wake up has made so much difference certainly beats the alarm going of in a pitch black room!

    + Makes cold winter mornings a little more bearable
    + Modern design with touch screen features
    + Good radio and sounds
    + Bright light and lots of adjustable features

    NOT SO GOOD
    – Quite expensive
    – Radio cord could be better (it’s currently taped to my wall)

    I bought this alarm clock when it was on sale but it probably would have been too expensive for me otherwise. However, if you have the money and you’re looking for something that is reliable and works well, this might be the product for you. It’s cheaper than some of the other models but features everything I think is necessary. The FM/AM radio is definitely a nice feature which I use a lot!

    Overall I recommend this product (even more so if it’s on sale!)

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is a really good bedside light for reading, I like the way you can adjust the brightness and its a good clear light quality. I like being woken by the sound of cuckoos HOWEVER, I didn’t take into account the fact that I sleep face down on my pillow so the lovely gradually increasing light has no effect……. Its a great product though, I would recommend to anybody who hates dark winter mornings and doesn’t sleep flat on their face like me.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI bought it as I hate waking up to the sound of my iPhone, I even started disliking songs that I had set up as alarm sound. Light do not wake me up, because I move in my sleep and very often I sleep not facing the clock. As soon as I hear birds singing I wake up immediately but without shock that standard alarm clock had on me. It has radio, which I do not use and it can also be used as a bedside lamp. When my partner “s daughter is visiting us she likes to use it as a gentle lamp that helps her sleep, she does not like to sleep in complete darkness. I would recommend it to everyone.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersOur alarm kept waking our baby up. We’d tried going without one, and just overslept, so we got this and it is such a lovely way to wake up. We set it so the light comes on first (it happens gradually) and then later the radio kicks in. It’s an attractive alarm clock, the display is very clear and it was simple to set up and easy to pause. My only wish was that the radio was DAB in this one for improved sound quality, but apart from that it is a great alarm clock!

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI deliberately did not buy the newer version simply because I wasn’t going to spend too much money on something I wasnt sure if it would actually work. But I was not disappointed by it, It does not look cheap or feel weird, it looks modern and quirky. It plugs in and has a aerial for the radio. It is very simple to use and clearly marked on the clock, the buttons are touch operated so require no pressure when pressing. At the top there is two volume options- lower and higher- FM for radio, left arrows for skipping back and right arrows for skipping forward. Centre to the clock is the 24hr digital clock with symbols lighting up such as a mini radio which shows when the radio is on, a mini sun which shows when the light is on and a mini bell which shows when you have an alarm set. Below this is your sun – which when you press you turn the light on and you can adjust with the – and + symbols beside it, and then the last is the bell to set the alarm. The volume buttons and the – and + adjust your settings for your sound and light whilst in use and also for your alarm so its always helpful to adjust to your preferred setting before going to bed if the radio is in use during the day and is also your alarm. The stand of the actual clock has proper buttons on either side, the left hand side is a single button which is for the digital clocks brightness so it does not disturb your sleep. on the right hand side is a clock button to manually set the time and a ‘1 2 radio’ slide setting which you just set yourself which is for your alarm. I personally have the radio as my alarm however the 1 and 2 ar ethe in built sounds to wake you up. I do believe that with this clock I wake up in a better mood, as im not being woke up by the harshness of a phone alarm its the light glow 10 mins before the alarm as the light slowly comes on and goes to full brightness and then the gradual increase of the radio that gently wakes me up. I recommend this to everyone and I absolutely love it. Maybe in the future i’ll get the upgraded version but for now I am perfectly happy with this version as it does everything I need it to do.
