I love this product!! I usually wake up by an alarm going off, my heart racing and a bad mood. Since using the Philips lamp I wake up naturally with light and I have the birds alarm sound too. I start my days off without a bad mood or my heart racing. I have recommended this product to everyone I know and have told all my facebook friends about it. Two friends have purchsed it and love it as much as I do. Thank you for making such a great product.

I was really happy when I got chosen to try the new Philips wake up light. When it arrived I was surprised by how heavy and well built it was. I knew the Phillips made great products, but this is innovative and a great alternative to waking up to a high pitch buzz. It has a variety of sounds that come with it. BUT you can also add your own sounds or music using a USB stick. This can be used as a night light as well. I have a night light in every room, and this is a night light with a wake up function! It is under $100.00, and well worth the money spent. If you are tired of waking up to loud harsh sounds, try waking up to light. You will toss out your cheap clock radio and rise by light instead.

Prior to using Philips Wake-Up Light I used an alarm clock. It abruptly woke me up with a loud, continous, annoying sound that I could not wait to turn off. I was so excited when I received the Wake-Up Light in the mail from SheSpeaks! It has a cool design, and many options. I set it up right away and put it to use. The first morning I used it I set it to birds chirping. I was doubtful at first because I did not think something so natural could possibly wake me up. However that first morning, and every morning after, I have awaken to the subtle light that the Wake-Up Light sets off. The bird noises usually sound after I am already awake, and the noise is not irratating like my previous alarm clock. I have to admit, it has never failed to wake me, and is a much more pleasant way to start my day. It is also very helpful that it has the digital time so I check it anytime during the night. I would recommend this product to anyone.

This is a great product that delivers on its promises. The light has a warm, soft, but bright quality that helps you feel more alert. I do not use this as an alarm clock on most days due to the difference in wake up time between me and my husband, but I still use it after we are both up to make us feel more awake. I took away one star for additional considerations that may not work for everyone. 1) The clock is big enough, so the distance away from the bed and having enough space to position it could be an issue -- I have a wall shelf instead of a night stand, so I had to find another spot a bit too far from the bed. 2) I see the charm of having the bird chirp sounds, etc., but I thought the alarm option sounds were too limited. Overall, a great product.

When I use this light I feel less crabby than when I use a regular alarm clock. The design is sleek and easy to use. I also love how you can use it as a night light. PLus waking up to the birds signing is so peaceful. Way better than somenigh pitched buzzing sound that my alarm clock makes! I love the light and would recommend this to anyone looking to wake up a more natural way.

The Philips Wake Up Light Alarm clock is a very innovative product. It has completely changed my mornings. I can wake up easier and feel more awake. I never liked being jolted awake with an alarm clock. This product wakes me up slowly yet is very effective. Now my alarm clock doesn't wake my still sleeping fiance. I will never think of using an old school alarm clock again. I think this product is good for all ages and everyone should have one of these. I also like that I get an option of how bright the lamp is and if I want to wake up to nature sounds or by the soft sound of the radio. It did take a couple of minutes to set up the features and get it set just right. I did replace my old reading nightstand lamp with this product. I do hope they come out wig different looks and styles of these lights.

I love this product! I have a difficult time waking up about half of the year, when it's still very dark outside in the mornings. The light gradually getting brighter works very well to wake me up gently, but also feeling more refreshed than when I use my regular alarm clock. I did have to set the alarm time later, though, because even with the light intensity at its lowest setting, I'd wake up shortly after the light came on (which was too early). So I set the alarm for about 15 minutes later than I really want, and that wakes me up at the correct time. I do like the birds sounds, and hubby has commented now several times that he really likes the light and the birds : )

Waking up to get my daughter off to school has always been a jarring experience for me. Regular alarm clocks rarely worked because I could just hit snooze and roll over for more needed shuteye. But the Phillips Wake Up Light is changing my mornings in a dramatic way. Instead of a harsh beeping I now awaken to soft light and if that doesn't do it, my radio is set to a soft pop station to finish the job. I love the fact that I can set the level of light intensity to go with how important it is for me to get out of bed the next morning. I have already sang it's praises to many people. But, I can't give it five stars for two reasons. One, this light really isn't attractive. My bedroom is rustic in style and the Wake Up Light stands out like a sore thumb. Two, there is no way I could ever use the bird sound. But I do enjoy the radio very much. All of that said, when I recommend this to people I tell them about the Wake Up Light that you can download sounds to. I think for many it would be the preferred choice. As for me, I am very happy with my new "alarm" clock.

I've been using this for 2 weeks and the light makes a huge difference in being able to wake up easily and gently. I find myself waking up gradually as soon as the light starts to come on and I've been able to get up in the morning without the usual grogginess. I tried the chirping birds alarm but found it really annoying, so I switched over to the radio alarm and that's working out much better for me. It was easy to set up, is easy to use, and I like the lever on the side that's convenient to reach out and use to turn off the alarm. The only thing I don't really like is the bulky size and appearance. It takes up a lot of space on my nightstand and doesn't really fit in with the decor. Other than the appearance, I really like the way it works and would recommend it.

The Philips HF3480 promises to wake one gently from a night's sleep. And that's exactly what it does for me. During the 30 minutes before the alarm's set wake-up time, the Philips' lamp gradually increases in brightness, to a user set level, until one simply wakes up with (or without) the help of a pleasing audible alarm. Out of the box, the unit has a sleek appearance; most unlike a typical alarm clock. For now, the Philips has a home on top of a hard back book on my night stand. Nothing wakes my husband up but this does the trick.

Since using this product, I have woken up less groggy and feeling much better. I do have to say though I am still depending on my alarm on my cell phone to wake me up completely. I'm just so relaxed with this product, until my annoying alarm goes off. I will recommend this product to others as I can tell a big difference in my morning mood, so to me that makes it worth every penny:)

I love this alarm clock. It is so much easier to wake up to than a regular alarm clock. I wake up refresehed and ready for the day. The only negative i have is I can't stand the chirping birds. My husband had them on 2 days in a row and I wanted to throw it out the window. I absolutely love the light as a night light/ reading light. The slow light prgression in the AM is the perfect wake up with the soft radio for me. Everyone should get on of these.

I woke up before it came on for a week,However it works well,Its a great reading light too

My Hubby and I are not morning people at all. I get very crabby when I wake up the wrong way. We also have a 2 year old that sometimes sleeps with us. When our old alarm would go off, my Hubby would keep putting it on sleep. I would wake up and if our two year old was in our bed, he would wake up. It would start our morning out bad. The Philips Wake-up Light has improved how we wake up. By the time the sunrise cycle is over, my Hubby and I feel relaxed and we are in better moods. I also like the bedside lamp and have replaced my old bedside lamp. I also appreciate how user friendly it is. It was so easy to set up. It is nice to wake up without being crabby, I have been really enjoying the benefits of the Philips Wake-up Light . My favorite part about the Philips wake up light is how more energized my Hubby and I feel in the morning. Also when my son does end up in our bed, it doesn't scare him and wake him up.

I love the idea of this product. It was very easy to set up and has great functionality. It did make waking up more gradual and pleasant. However, I just don't know if I can handle the looks of this product. It is bigger than I thought and It looks like a trash can sitting on my night stand. It's just not very attractive to look at so based on that I only gave it 3 stars.
