 Tweet way to wake up July 6, 2010
Suzie Scribe (Basildon,England)
Despite initial problems wrestling the bulb out of the packaging, this proved easy to set up. The light is adjustable for brightness and looks good. I settled on the birdsong option. The tweeting gets a bit more frantic nearer to wake-up time, but I am not sure it would be enough to wake you without the light. The time display is reasonably clear for the short sighted to check on the time, but I find I have to turn it 45 degrees at night to stop its digital glow distracting me from sleep.
All in all, pretty good.

I bought the light alarm to replace one I had earlier by a different manufacturer. I must say, the Philips one was a disappointment all round.
1. Appearance: The whole product has a cheap feel to it and is not exactly stylish. It is also rather tall and shapeless, however, without much weight to it, so it falls over easily.
2. Setting the Alarm: Setting the alarm anew (after having completely turned it off) is a pain: lenghty and awkward. It also can not really be done if anyone else near you is already asleep, since it involves the alarm clock having to 'demonstrate' the highest setting you desire for waking you, i.e. full light and full volume.
3. The Alarm Sounds: I only ever used the beep alarm, since the radio could never be tuned properly and the 'nature sounds' are so artificial that they certainly did not appeal to me. The loudspeaker leaves very much to be desired. In fact, the in-built speakers of my lap-top are of a better quality...
4. I regretted buying the product in the first place and rarely used it except as an actual dimmer lamp. Then, to add insult to injury (did it notice how unloved it was?), it died without warning after about 1.5 years. I know it is still under warrenty, but I doubt I will bother having it repaired.
My advice: Look for a different make/model.

This beats a blarring alarm to jump start your day and starts the day off much more gently.
Great way to wake up April 21, 2010
Fraggle (Devon, UK)
I'm really pleased with this purchase. The light comes on gradually so it is not at all harsh. I have it set quite bright though or I would sleep through it! I have the wake up alarm set on bird song, which is lovely, although if I needed to get up early I think I would have to use the radio alarm as there would be a danger I would sleep through the bird song as it is such a gentle awakening. There is also a bleep wake up alarm option which sounds a bit like a dripping tap. Again, not very loud. Great for gentle awakenings, possibly less good if you really need to get up and get out as you may sleep through it!
