Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 – Sunrise & Sunset Alarm Clock - Bedside Lamp with Custom Light Duration - Wake-Up, Night & Reading Light - Warm LEDs

It's pretty easy to use, the instructions are in English-English and clear to understand, and it is very functional. I and my spouse are both happy.I've been using dawn simulator lights for +25 years and sadly the makers of my previous version went out of business. When I looked around for a replacement I found this one, and it definitely does the job. I just wish the display were larger, I have to fish for my reading glasses to make changes. AND I wish the sunrise sound would fade in along with the light, instead of switching on abruptly.RECOMMENDED.

I bought this for my wife and she seems to enjoy it. I like the range of time you can set for the sunrise function, and the variety of wake up sounds. However the display seems dated and the controls are not intuitive and definitely take some work to get used to. Also, the instructions say the sunrise light is supposed to turn off automatically after several hours, but this does not seem to happen. Not a huge deal, we just end up turning it off manually. A good clock overall, but takes some work to set up.

I’ve spent years researching different sunrise alarm clocks after purchasing one that was awful. I researched the Philip’s alarm but ended up going with Lumie because of the warranty (Philip's has no backup battery and you can’t replace the bulb if it burns out). I was hesitant with the bad reviews on this alarm because people said it was extremely difficult to set up. I’m 24 and grew up with very simple alarm clocks so I can understand the simplicity of older clocks. This clock is very easy to set up if you take 3 minutes to read the directions. I was actually pretty angry knowing I spent so much time researching the set up issues people complained about just to receive the clock and follow very simple instructions to set it up. I had no issues. I’m assuming the people who are complaining about the set up either 1. Refuse to accept that clocks have a few extra sets nowadays (ya know, considering it has so many features unlike clocks 10/20 years ago) and adapt to new technology, which is fine, but don’t advertise that it is difficult or impossible to set up just because you refuse to accept it takes a few extra minutes. 2. They didn’t take 3 minutes to read the instructions to understand how to set it up and likely tried to do it without even opening the instructions which would obviously be hard since there’s too many features to simply use 2 buttons. It seems like there is a lazy generational gap here.If you are interested in this clock, please do not base your purchase off of the negative reviews regarding set it. My parents are in their 70s, one has never even owned a phone let alone knows how to upload photos onto the computer but they are both able to set the entire clock up in under 3 minutes. It really isn’t difficult. The instructions are right there and there is a YouTube video for people who are visual learners.This is an excellent alarm and well worth the money. I feel refreshed when I wake up instead of being jolted out of bed with my heart racing and nauseated because of it. I’m a night owl and this has completely transformed my mornings and has helped me start my day off on the best note. I couldn’t recommend this enough.

I have had my dear Lumie for a little over a week and I adore it. It is my first sunrise clock so I cannot compare it to other models.I wanted a sunrise clock for the following reasons:1. To keep my phone away from my bed, which I was using for the alarm.2. To have an alarm that would not wake anyone else up.Lumie has helped me accomplish both. I chose this clock over others because I wanted the display completely dark at night, I wanted to be able to have just the light without the sound, and it has the sunset function which I didn't even know I wanted but I love it. It is the cue I need to put my book down and fall asleep. The gradually bright light in the morning wakes me up gently and it really makes a difference in how I feel when I wake up. It does not need to be connected to a phone which is also important to me.Thanks to other reviewers I knew to set aside some time to set up, and maybe because I knew setup could be tedious ahead of time I did not find it difficult or frustrating. I followed the instructions step by step and had no problem setting it up in about 10 minutes.The only issue I had is that I needed to turn the light on once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I read that you can push any of the buttons to turn on the light. So I pushed whichever button my finger landed on, which was unfortunately the alarm button, and I turned my alarm off for the next morning. You also don't want to push the radio button in the middle of the night for obvious reasons. Lesson learned and now you know too.I've already recommended this clock to friends and family. Lumie and I look forward to many happy years together <3

Alarm snoozes itself and light turns off after just a few seconds without any input. Light is not bright enough to wake up. Limited options for alarms. Overall not a good alarm clock.

Only able to display time in 24hr format and none of the unofficial, button-hold reset methods worked. It's a nightmare to try and set up and overpriced for what it is. I hope Phillips can revamp their line of sunrise clocks. Right now, discontinued models are superior to current offerings. However, the currently-available Philips' are superior to this in every way.
