Philips HF3520/60 Light Therapy Wake Up Light LUXEON – Mood Lamp (Wake-up Light, 300 lx, LUXEON, Orange, Red, Yellow, 40 min, Bedroom)

Great dawn simulator alarm clock. I've used some form of dawn simulator for over 30 years and they keep me functional in Alaska in the winter. The Philips clocks are reliable, adequately bright, and they do all the essential things. Philips is a reliable company that does things like UL listing, and so it is reasonably unlikely that this clock will start a fire. The interface for the clock is fine. It's very easy to change the alarm time. I can customize the length of the sunrise. The sunset feature is very pleasant and I can customize the sunrise. The top snooze tap area is well done, and it silences the sound but does not dim the light. Please allow me to save you a small annoyance. After setting the alarm time, alarm sound, and other alarm settings, you can run a Demo/Test cycle which goes through the process in 90 seconds. At the end of that test cycle, the clock will turn on the radio. If you go back through and make sure that you have selected the nature sounds, rather than the radio, for the alarm sound, and run the test cycle again... the clock will turn on the radio at the end. However, when the alarm goes off for real (rather than a test cycle)... it will turn on the sounds that you selected. If you don't want to wait til tomorrow morning to find out if that works, just set the alarm for 30 minutes in the future. This information isn't in the manual, or I am somehow missing it. I hope this prevents you from experiencing mild frustration while trying to customize your alarm settings. Philips also cautions you against replacing the light. (The light should not die anytime soon. My last Philips clock light made it for over 13 years.) However, if you or a friend have some skills as far as repairs/builds go and are good at searching for information, you can in fact order a replacement bulb from The Internet, go through the mildly tricky process of opening the clock, and replace the bulb.

Ya llevo meses desde que lo utilizo y me encanta. Siento que cada mañana despierto de forma suave y natural y por ser un despertar lento no me duelen los ojos al abrirlos. También me encanta usarlo como lámpara, su luz cálida y suave me recuerdan mucho a las velas y en las noches es una buena opción para meditar si se activa el modo de apagado automático. Una compra qué realmente vale la pena realizar.

枕元から1、2メートル離れたところに置いてもちゃんと明るくなる

I really like this clock. It is a very nice size and is not hard to comprehend the instructions. Have to read them and pay attention but they are not "hard" when you do :) I like the Birds and flute wake up sound the best...with the glow it lets off , it wakes me gently and easily. I would recommend this item to anyone who needs to get up but does not love the harsher sounds of phone or clock alarms! The other features are nice too...the sleep and the slow progression to full light. The FM radio a nice feature. It does have standard alarm sounds too and a few different options to choose from. The unit brightens the whole room when it is at its peak The "snooze" is a bit tricky...if you literally want to snooze it without "waking" I do not... lol. So it sits across th room forcing me to get up to turn it off Nice product. Good investment for me :)

Horribly expensive here in India. But cheaper than an air fare. I bought my original, glass, model (this one is plastic) in UK, but, after some years its buttons are failing. It is part of my wake-up life. Don't know how I could live without it. And, as I said, cheaper than an air fare. Is it worth it to YOU? At this price, probably not.
