I love this thing. It's life-changing for waking up in the darker months, and a great way to wind-down in the evening all year round. I do wish some of the tech was better. For example, it's annoying that you can't play noise and have the sunrise/sunset work at the same time. But some negative reviews did complain WAY too much about the interface - it's a bit early-2000s, but it's not that hard to use. I also think the quality of speakers given the price is a bit of a shame; the white-noise doesn't sound as full as it ideally would. But overall I would highly recommend it. I swear it has made my personal experience of 2024 10% better. Read more

I love this, I fall asleep easily and peacefully with the relaxing sunset and gentle thunderstorm sound effect and wake slowly and comfortably with a sunrise. Its an amazingly natural light source and really helps with your body clock. It has many sound effects and adjustable timing on settings - quite a versatile model this one so you can adapt it to suit you more so than the other models. I choose the blackbird sound effect to wake me, but the sunrise (and only on the 15 min setting) does this effectively alone - no sudden waking up any more with a loud alarm! You feel better for it. Took a bit of time to get used to operating wise- for instance you pre-set sunrise brightness, timing and sound etc and then you are good to go - you just press sunrise 'on' button the night before and the sunrise will begin the next morning from red to bright in the timing you set, and alarm noise (if set) will go off at the end of the desired sunrise time - but sunset pre-set is different - you have to set' no light' in the settings and put the light on manually yourself before you activate the sunset unless you want some level of night light on constantly as you sleep, the rest fades out. Took a while to figure how to get the sunset to fade - but if you have the light turned on to full before pressing your sunset preset button it then fades the light and sound together (as long as you have light option set 'off' on sunset - if light is set 'on' or on nightlight it does not fade out with sound effect but remains on until you manually turn it off) - a little confusing but hoping this will help new users faster than me now I've figured it out! Once its up and running its fantastic, so don't let this put you off - its just a matter of understanding it! Than its very easy to operate with button for sunrise (set alarm for next day) and sunset etc. Have not used radio yet as I didn't really buy it for that but got this model as it was on an offer at same price as model below it. Great product, wouldn't be without it too and it looks attractive on bedside table! Read more

I was really eager to try the Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 and it looks to be a really clever and well designed device. Unfortunately, the first one I ordered was badly scratched on the LCD display and on the edge of the display. Also, the tap to snooze and tap to wake up the display seemed to be rather hit and miss. No amount of tapping appeared to yield a reliable result. So, I arranged an exchange for the same model, which Amazon sorted for me really quickly and with zero hassle. That second device turned up today, and to my horror, this item was also badly scratched on the face of the LCD screen and had the same manufacturing defect on the edge of the display (it looks like the plastic isn’t formed properly and is rough to the touch). And on this second device the plastic dome for the lights also appears to have some form of a scratch on it. I considered sending both devices back but decided to keep the first one as the badly formed LCD screen edge is barely noticeable and I think I have figured out how to tap to wake the display. For £115 (device was on offer) this alarm clock is still the best and most feature rich for the price. The sunset and sunrise transitions are smooth and not jarring like some of the cheaper models and the flexibility of setting alarm times by individual days is unrivalled. Would highly recommend and would have given five stars if it weren’t for the manufacture Turing defect on the screen. Read more

What a difference to wake up gradually to what feels like natural light. Can choose the time and the duration. The sunset setting is great for unwinding before sleep too. I don’t use the radio or sounds but they work well, particularly to wind down (rain/jungle/birds) Takes a bit of setting up but once you have your wake up times set up for each day of the week you’re grand. Can alter or turn off too on the daily. Just love this item so much My friend who has one of these uses the lowest setting (red/orange light) as a night light - a good option too if you don’t like complete darkness or for children Mine is set up in front of a mirror too which makes it feel like daylight coming through the window. I set mine up across the room which is bright enough to wake me but not startling Read more

I have read several negative reviews about this and was hesitant to buy it. But I really wanted a super bright lamp that simulates sun rise for me to wake up to. I feel it really helps me feel less groggy when waking up in the winter months. I find it easy to use. You can set a one off alarm or schedule them for the whole week. You do have to select the time, turn on the sunrise option and sound each day. But once you do that the alarm will go off every day that you set it for and you don't have to touch those settings again. The light is very bright, exactly what I wanted. The radio works well, and the audio recordings that come with it are fine, I don't use them though as I don't need them. To turn off the lamp you have to press the down arrow for a few seconds. You do not have to press it 20 times. The sunset function you can only start if you already have the light on. You can also set it to stop at night light mode if you have turned on the night light option. At night the display completely turns off which I love! Bright clock displays bother me in a dark room. But you can tap the top of the clock to turn the display on and see the time, then it goes off again by itself. I like the functions I think this clock works well and definitely helps me get up in the morning. I do recommend this. Read more
