PHILIPSWake-up Light, Sunrise Simulation, 2 Natural Sounds, FM Radio & Bedside Lamp, HF3505/60

TLDR -> Only had it for one night but it seems to work.Pros:Very bright.Alarm noises are pleasant and not too jarring.Extremely easy to use interface.Did wake up without feeling exhausted.Cons:Felt a bit cheap (again, light electronics don't feel sturdy to me so it's strictly personal preference here).Setting brightness for night lamp use seems to affect alarm brightness.Only one night of testing so far.Full Review-------------I tend to be up pretty late in, usually asleep between 12 - 1 in the morning. I have tried setting multiple alarms on my phone and smart watch to wake me up but it seems like I turn them off in my sleep. Most of the time I wake up with enough time to get ready for work but one recent evening I couldn't fall asleep until 3:30 in the morning and missed a morning meeting. Enter this alarm clock.When I first opened the package and pulled out the device it honestly felt a little cheap. The plastic didn't seem high enough quality and it felt very light (I tend to think lighter things feel less sturdy than heavier so take this with a grain of salt). I turned on the device and configured it and ran it through the demo mode. Much to my enjoyment, it was a very easy setup and the demonstration mode gave me a good idea of what to expect.Set it up on the bed stand, approximately 24 inches away from me and prepped for sleep. I turned down the brightness to use it as a room light while I was brushing my teeth and went to bed around 12:30 in the morning. Surprisingly, I woke up right as the alarm went off at 7 AM, just 6.5 hours later. The brightness was a bit unimpressive but that appears to be because the brightness the device was using when I had it on as a lamp appears to be the brightness the device maxes out at when using the alarm. Suffice it to say I will be turning up the brightness for the next night.At the end of the day, I did wake up feeling a bit more refreshed in my dark room (winter here now so the mornings are a bit dark when I wake up) but I can't say for sure if that's because this is a new device and I'm excited to test it or if this is because the device is actually good. More to come in the following weeks.

The option for waking up to birds chirping is very nice - like a flock of robins right next to my head - and cheerful - it doesn't make me angry like a buzzer does. (I know they are robins because it was hard to differentiate between the real robins outside my window in the spring and the ones from my alarm clock.) I also like the light, but the light itself doesn't wake me up. It's just nice to have some light in the room turn on automatically when the morning is still dark, and the light stays on even when you snooze your alarm. So that was most helpful in the winter when it's extra hard to get up early. I also use it for late night reading, it's nice and soft and can be dimmed in 10 increments. There is no radio, but if I need music I have other options.My only complaint, not enough to knock down a star from my rating, is that the whole thing is super lightweight and rests on part of the circular face, so when I gently tap (smack blindly) the top when it goes off, it tends to move around and tip over.Overall, I'm happy with this item.

I did a fair amount of online research before buying this, and this is a life changer!I used to wake up feeling groggy each morning, snoozing my phone alarm up to four or five times. It got to the stage where I would snooze it in my sleep and end up waking up late. With the Wake Up light alarm, i wake up much more naturally (sometimes before the alarm goes off) and get up straight away, feeling fresh and well rested. The alarm clock is easy to use, has 3 different alarms including FM radio, and adjustable display light, lighting and sound. You can also use it as just a light as well.The only negatives are that the display is reasonably bright even on the lowest setting and that once the plug comes out of the wall, you have to reset the time (the alarm keeps its time, though). These I can live with, as its had such a huge impact on my life, I'm telling everyone about it! Not sure if you can buy this model in Australia, but no need for a voltage adapter.
