For the most part, I really like the Philips Wake-up Light. The modern
design is great. The lighting itself is beautiful. The product features
are adequate. The orange LED display offers four levels of brightness.
The control buttons blend in nicely with the trim. The snooze button,
appropriately, sticks out like a sore thumb so if I'm still drowsy I can
just reach over and activate it without lifting my head all the way up
off the pillow to find it.
The elegant halogen illumination is
the heart of what this product is all about. You can use the Wake-up
Light as a bedside lamp and adjust it to any of several intensities.
Powering down, it smoothly transitions to darkness. Awesome!
The
radio sounds nice, comparable to your standard clock radio.
Unfortunately, it's FM only, and I'm one who likes to make the most out
of my space. With no AM band to choose from it loses a bit of value for
me.
As a wake-up light, this product is fantastic! With the unit
placed within a couple feet of your head, it does a fine job at
convincing you that the sun has risen. There are three choices of
alarms: FM radio, chirping birds or a "beep" as it is referred to in the
manual, but it really sounds more like a lazy kettledrum concerto. I
love waking up to the chirping birds...very natural.
If you're
typically miserable when being abruptly awakened to dark surroundings,
then I highly recommend this item. It's a luxurious waking experience,
which can contribute to a more positive start to your mornings. It
really is a cool thing to have.
