Lumie Bodyclock Rise 100 - Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock with Sunrise and Sunset, Multicolour

I had purchased another light before for £30 off Amazon. It was one of those cylinder yokes with a really shiny finish. I just didn't think I wanted to pay £80 for an alarm but in hindsight I should've gone for Lumie right away. The light looks much nicer in the room. I like the matte look of the light cover. The light is much nicer than the cheaper product I used before and it actually changes brightness much smoother. It's easy to set up and I like that the time turns of automatically at night (if you chose that setting). Personally, I don't use the Alarm tone but I could see how people may be looking for alternative sounds such as forest sounds, birds etc. The cheaper light I had before had that option, this Lumie does not as far as I can tell. Either way, the light makes waking up a much nicer experience. I tend to set an alarm a few minutes after Lumie reaches peak brightness just to make sure I get up. In 90% of the cases I'm up already. I really enjoy it. It's quite pricey but I think you certainly see the quality difference over a cheap light.

Having gone deaf, alarms that use sound aren't any good to me. I've had a wake-up light before from Phillips but I actually prefer my Lumie one, and here's why: 1. You can turn off the sound, which might be good for some hearing people. This model of Lumie light has an *optional* beep, but you can turn it to zero when you set the alarm. More expensive Lumie models have background sounds like mountain streams, goats, etc, but this one doesn't. The sound on my old Phillips one couldn't be turned off, and (back when I could hear it!), was rudely awoken by what sounded like a gong and a furious baboon. 2. You can turn off the clock display. If you want complete darkness in your room at night, or you find seeing the time annoying if you're struggling to sleep, this is a great setting. Once it's turned off, you just need to tap the light for the clock to show for a couple of seconds. It'll also display if you put something down next to the light! But that's not a big problem. 3. You can change the brightness of the clock display. An option if you don't want to turn off the display completely but don't want to have the time seered into your eyeballs. 4. The wake-up time is set at half an hour. So if you set your alarm for 7 am the light starts to glow from 6.30 am. More expensive Lumies (and maybe cheaper ones from other brands) give you a selection of wake-up periods (eg. 15, 30, or 45 minutes), but I find 30 minutes perfectly fine for me. 5. It has a sunset setting. So if you want to be lulled to sleep with the room slowly darkening, this would be great for you. Again, this is set at 30 minutes. 6. You can use it as a bedside light. Just use the plus button to turn it on, and minus to turn off (you'll need to press them several times as it goes through the phases of the sunrise/sunset cycles. 7. It's fairly easy to use. Just read the manual first, and it'll all make a lot of sense!

A little background first, I am terrible at getting up in the mornings, just terrible......weirdly during all of the lockdowns I did manage to get up early and go out for a run most days but somehow I got out of the habit, so I was really looking for something that would help be get up early again. I looked through a lot of the Lumie lamps and there were mixed reviews on all of them (even the pricier ones) but this one seemed to have the main thing I was looking for which was a sunrise alarm where I could just use the light option without have a sound option as well. So out of the box it was quite simple to setup although I did need to refer to the instructions for setting the alarm, its not very bulky either, looks nice and is actually a good replacement for my bedside lamp. After setting it up it has probably taken about 10 days to adjust to bring woken up gradually by the light, but I am pleased to report that I am now back to getting up early again, with hardly any groggyness and I feel much more alert during the day too! My only gripe (which I knew about when I purchased this) and the reason for not giving 5 stars, is that you have to set the alarm every day, I've forgotten a couple of times but I mostly remember to do it. But other than that, at this price point it's pretty damn good. I am a Lumie convert now!

Brilliant light for waking up. I bought this one to replace a very old Lumie that had lasted me about 8 years. I was pleased to see that this one doesn’t need a lightbulb! It feels sturdier and is easy to use with the manual. I would recommend this to anyone. It is a bit expensive but will last you years and is totally worth it compared to cheaper ones.

I wanted to 100% love this product and with a couple of tweaks it could be perfect. The downside is that it has only 1 alarm sound which is piercing and not nice. Also if you're facing away from the light, it's not strong enough (for me) to wake you up, so I have set it in the middle of my opposite wall to catch which ever way I'm sleeping. It's a bright light but not as strong as a sunrise. However, having said all that it has made getting up at 5am an absolute breeze, whereas before I was setting 3 alarms on my iPhone and dragging myself out of bed so tired. This is a gradual wake up as the light goes from a deep orange to a bright white. Very glad I bought it but as I said it's not perfect.

Prima wekker, jammer dat er geen verschillende wekkergeluiden zijn om te kiezen

Consigliatissimo per chi fa fatica a svegliarsi il mattino la uso già da mesi e posso dire che fa tutta la sua differenza. Peccato che se si scollega dalla corrente si cancella l'orario.

Its light so I could easily pack it to bring along my trips. Effective for waking me up (I have been struggling for months when I couldnt wake up before 14.00)

This light-up alarm clock has been a game-changer in our house. The clock gradually illuminates the entire bedroom so that, when the alarm sounds, my teenagers wake up to a fully lit space (rather than darkness). This is the only alarm clock my night owls DON'T sleep through! Hallelujah!

5 étoiles car ce réveil m’a changé la vie. C’est effectivement excessif mais il faut prendre en compte que je n’ai jamais été du matin du haut de mes 25ans, et que le réveil a toujours été une épreuve à surmonter à tel point qu’il m’ai déjà arrivé d’avoir plus d’une heure de retard au travail. Je souffre également de dépression et suis sujette aux insomnies. Avec ce réveil, mes yeux s’ouvrent toujours avant la sonnerie et sans difficulté. Je n’ai pas de mal à me lever à l’heure prévue. Et pourtant j’ai du me lever à 4h30 ce matin tout en ayant dormi vers 00h. Il faut effectivement régler l’alarme tous les soirs comme le précise la majorité des commentaires, mais ayant des horaires variables (réveil soit à 4h30 soit à 9h), c’est plutôt une bonne chose pour moi. Je trouve que le prix est quand même un peu élevé car la qualité n’a pas l’air folle et les options sont minimes. Mais je ne regrette pas mon achat.
