It's bright, it's a great bedside light, and a fairly good alarm clock system.
If you are looking to try out an alarm clock system that uses light to wake you up but you aren't sure whether you will like it, this is a great product to experiment with. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it does have almost all the features you'd want to try out whether this works for you (more on this below).THE GREAT- It's compact and bright, if you would like an item that acts as both your alarm clock and a bedside table light while not taking up too much space (and can even tell the time) this item does it for you and you should give it a shot.- Light varieties: the different intensities are pleasantly warm and go from the dim orange of daybreak to a much whither morning sun warm colour. These settings can be chosen for not only your alarm clock but also for your bedside light, so you can dim and brighten at will.- Multiple alarms: great for having a week and weekend alarm, this system offers 2 different alarms.- Loud speaker: the speaker can go loud and easily fill a decently sized room. In other words you won't sleep through it.- Time before alarm: the alarm very helpfully allows you to set over how long you want sunrise to happen before the alarm kicks in.THE GOOD- Sunset/Sleep mode: the alarm offers a sunset period as well as then a sleep aid for a certain amount of time which is great as it can help some people settle down, but I would only recommend it with singles, my wife likes sleep aid sounds, I like silence. If the sound could be broadcast over bluetooth my wife would be able to use her night headphones to help her settle down.- Multi colour: by double-pressing the light button you can change the colour of the light to set the mood of the room which is always fun! Not sure if you can use it for the alarms, not that I would want to...THE OK- No alarm sound: there is no setting for a mute alarm, though you can turn the volume down, it isn't very intuitive. My wife prefers to have a sound that forces her to get up when she has reached the time she HAS to get up. I prefer to just have a slight ding to make sure I got the memo, the minimalist options are not available, so I use my phone for that.- Instructions need to be read: The product has many features and it is understandable that you'd need time to learn how to access them, the manual does need to be read as the system only now and again is verbose enough to help you intuitively understand what you have set. The video also helps, but you will find yourself referring back to the manual until you got the system down.- Speaker quality: the speaker is loud but the sound quality isn't fab, good enough to wake up, but for listening to their radio I'd rather use my phone.THE "NEEDS IMPROVING"- The buttons: the build quality of the item is great for the price, except the buttons, they are hard clicky and despite the tactile bumps, I would have preferred other items, such as a dial for volume and a dial for light brightness to allow me to quickly choose what I want when I want it rather than have to fiddle with the buttons to make it do what I want.- Automatic clock brightness: the clock has 3 brightness levels (off, low, high) which means you can go to pitch black at night, but it isn't useful if you want to know the time in the middle of the night, having some system whereby the brightness dims with the surrounding light, or even a sensor which would briefly turn it on at night if you waved your hand in front of it would be a MASSIVE boost in usability of the clock. I found myself just having it off 90% of the time because I wouldn't remember to turn it on once I got up (I like to sleep in pitch black).- It turns off after the alarm: this is what made me drop a star, when you turn off the alarm the light also turns off so you go from your bright room back to pitch black, not really helpful when you are trying to wake yourself up. You can of course turn it on again, but the simple feature to ask whether you'd like it to stay on would be an easy and important feature to have which would far improve the experience.CONCLUSIONDespite the features I felt were missing and removed 1 star, I think this is a great product for the price point, my experience is possibly skewed because I love my sleep time and rhythms and I am incredibly particular about what I like, so what I didn't enjoy is possibly not going to affect most buyers.If you want to try a sunlight alarm clock and want many features such as dimmable light and many colours, clock and an ok speaker radio, then really give this a shot and enjoy the experience!

Real life savour
I am generally not one to write reviews, who really cares what a random person on the internet says...But this has genuinely helped me for the better.I've NEVER been a morning person, like ever. I tend to wake up naturally around 12:00 - 14:00 but I recently started an amazing new job that I have been working up to for years. The only problem is I am now having to get up at 7am most days.I am not a morning person, it's hard for me to wake up and not instantly fall back asleep again. There have been a lot of close calls with me being almost late and I was starting to worry I was gonna mess up.But you know what? This alarm clock is genuinely incredible! It's rising sun effect and soft bird noises slowly wake me and I feel so much better in the mornings now! And I am able to actually get out and not fall asleep again!So umm..yeah, that's it reallyGood clock, nice colours, good speakers.I'd recommend it to anyone who is tired of the harsh beeping noise alarm clocks.Sure helped me out 😊

Birdsong wake-up is a treat
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Brilliant alarm clock, I love waking up to the sweet sound of birdsong. It has lots of features like different sounds & coloured lights & radio. I had to read the instructions several times and the buttons are small but now I know what I'm doing it's great. The light brightness is easily adjusted but the very best bit for me is the beautiful birdsong wake up - I love it. Highly recommend.

Very nice clock
This clock is fantastic,All in all I am very happy with my purchase, the radio is a decent quality for a clock and the sunset and sunrise features have really helped me with my problems getting to sleep and wakening up - I don't even use my bedside lamp now, I turn on the light the clock and when I'm getting into bed I turn on the sunset feature!It was very easy to set up with clear instructions and this morning it woke me with a lovely light and the sound of tweeting birds.I did my research this has the features of a much more expensive wake up light yet only a fraction of the price.I'm really pleased with this item.

beautiful and useful
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. during the day the clock looks like a magical crystal globe, matching with any bedroom theme; in the evening my rooms looks like a sunset and i listen to crickets, my favourite. there are other beutiful colours to choose from but i love the sun colour. the alarm in the morning is really good, i have one hour of sunrise ( it can be shorter, though) and the sound is birds chirps. this morning i woke up at 6 fully awake, without my heart pounding as usual and ready for the day, i drank coffee because is a habit but i dont think my body needed more waking up. the radio is great, i am getting at least 12 local radio stations. the best alarm clock ever. and lamp. and radio. all it needs is a cat purr sound for the evening for us cat lovers out there.

Stylish design, exelent quality multifunction clock
What an amazing alarm clock with light and radio. Well worth the money. Very happy with this purchase. This clock is very stylish, got good sound quality. But the most I like about it is light, which brightness you can control. Also got sunrise function. I find it very useful. Got it originally for my self, but my daughter liked it too, so it looks like I will need to get one more😅Very reasonable price, fab quality, fast delivery, well packed.Recommend it for all my family and friends. Also I believe that could be great Christmas present too.
