Philips SmartSleep Sleep and Wake-Up Light, Simulated Sunrise and Sunset, Multiple Lights and Sounds, RelaxBreathe to Sleep, HF3651/01

The Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light has genuinely improved my mornings. Waking up to gradual light instead of a sudden alarm makes a noticeable difference. Wake-Up Experience The light slowly increases in brightness, which feels far more natural than a harsh alarm sound. I wake up feeling calmer and less stressed. Light Quality The light is soft and pleasant, not blinding. It fills the room gradually and makes waking up feel more relaxed. Daily Use It’s easy to set up and becomes part of your routine very quickly. Ideal if you struggle with dark mornings or abrupt alarms. Final Thoughts A great product for improving sleep routines and mornings. Once you get used to waking up this way, it’s hard to go back.

I’ve used a Phillips wake up light for the past 12 years or so, and finally that old one gave out. Not the light, but the sound. So I figured I’d get a new one. First I bought a cheap non-Phillips one that turned out to be a disaster, so I decided on a proper Phillips one instead. I’m happy to see the new features added in comparison to my old one. Features I especially like: - the midnight function: if you need to get up in the middle of the night simply tap the top of the light and it will give a tiny amount of red light. Just enough to find your way and not stumble over clutter and breaking your neck. Very much appreciated. - ULTIMATE BRIGHTNESS!! The highest brightness level is seriously bright. No way you won’t notice that. - very dim clock light. I need my bedroom to be as dark as possible. Most electric alarm clocks have a clock light that is annoyingly bright, making it difficult to sleep. Luckily this light has a very dim setting, making the clock just visible at night. During the day it will not be very visible probably, but that’s fine. You can also turn it off if they want. - snoozing only stops the sound. The cheapo light I bought also stopped the light during snoozing which is just stupid. - the touchscreen can be quiet. By default it make a small sound, but you can turn it off. Using the menu is easy and straightforward. No idea why it is designed to look like a ceramic sink drain, but you can’t win them all I guess. All in all this light is just about perfect, sink drain look and all.

An intriguing device from Philips that should be thought of as a clever light which offers sleep, wake-up, and relaxation modes and sounds. There’s also an FM radio. What it does best is a light. It feels like a quality luminaire and can go very bright but as a larger light-source it’s not as intense on the eyes as a point like bulb. And it’s party trick is the midnight light. In a dark room it’s like red sunset and easy on the eyes. This night light is simply activated by just tapping the top rear of the unit. These things aren’t easy to photograph as the camera picks up the LED refreshing so apologies for the quality with the light activated. Other things to note are that functions are accessed by touching icons around the clock area and the clock auto dims and brightens depending on lighting conditions. As for the sound quality, as a rear firing speaking it’s not going to set an amazing standard in audio but it’s acceptable. It also doesn’t go too loud and isn’t the cleanest sound - not great for the hard of hearing - but if not too far from a wall this helps to improve the volume. Overall this is primarily a light with audio bolted on.

I was wary about splashing out on this, but in the end it has been worth it. I researched all kinds of lamps and couldn't quite find the "perfect" one with all the features I thought I'd like. In the end I took a leap and went for this due to the reputation of the brand and taking all the other positive reviews on balance. Now, rather than being yanked out of my sleep by a blaring alarm and desperately hitting snooze, by using this lamp I'm waking up in a way that feels much more natural, and doesn't leave me startled and stressed. To begin with I gradually shifted the sunise setting earlier and earlier, and now I've actually been managing to get up at 5am ready to start the day. This means I'm getting so much more done, I feel more productive and I'm in a better mood all around for the day. It still takes me by surprise when I open my eyes feeling like I've awoken "natirally", yet I've not had a lie in at all. The wind down / sunset setting is also really useful. I set it and read while the light starts to dim, then I end up off to sleep pretty quickly. On the slight downsides, as others have mentioned, the controls are a little bit unintuitive and take some getting usd to. And I'd have loved the ability to set a weekday and weekend schedule independent of each other. Having it "auto-sunset" each day would have been handy too, But all things considered, the positives to my routine have been so beneficial that I can overlook those gripes.

Anfangs war ich skeptisch.... doch schon beim ersten Probelauf bestätigte sich, was ich gelesen hatte. Es ist ein"sanftes " aufwachen..... überhaupt kein Vergleich zum abrupten hochschrecken mit einem Radiowecker.... Wir möchten diese Art des aufwachen nicht mehr missen. Die wahlweise einzustellenden Naturgeräusche nutzen wir nur am Ende der Lichtphase..... als Sicherheit..... falls das Licht mal doch nicht ausreicht zum wach werden. War bis jetzt jedoch noch nie der Fall... Klare Kaufempfehlung

Zu teuer, günstigere Lampe hat quasi gleiche Funktionen
