Beurer Lichtwecker WL 70 (household goods)

Customer Review

Since we already use a wake up Light from another manufacturer, we can draw a direct comparison here.
First of all: the principle of natural awakening works with virtually any Wake up Light, and standing up is so much more fun, of course, is simple and is much more pleasant than pure music in the morning. More for comparison below.

The does not go forward to the alarm, the alarm light WL 70 from Beurer. Quite the contrary .. simulating a sunrise with a slow, continuously by light that works very well, which at first a little surprised us. With the effect we had not necessarily expected that we would be in retrospect all the more that we tried it.

Only the small, square display is likely to be slightly larger. But when the light alarm clock is right next to the bed on the bedside table, it fits.
However, if you prefer electronic equipment placed at some distance, might have to get up when reading the time. In the morning the light alarm clock would .. so achieved its effect and the effect is in our opinion better when the light alarm clock is a little away from the bed and so illuminates continuously the bedroom in the morning.

According to the description of Beurer the light intensity is 2500 lux at a distance of 15 cm. But who has the alarm clock are already so close to the bed. And the best effect unfolds at a distance of 2-3 meters.

Sonically we must of course not expect miracles, but the compact design of the sound is perfectly fine. And the light alarm clock is so compact designed that it may well go on trips. Where we renounce the alarm could go to the holiday ..
.. It can be of use as a reading light alarm clock or bedside lamp when is he not placed too far from the bed.

Setting possibilities are numerous: display brightness, snooze mode, key tones, color fixing - just to name a few. Well done is the goodnight function (purpose of the radio mode must be turned on). Here, the radio switches to a selected time then off automatically. And at sunset a sunset function is simulated, and the light is gradually getting darker continuously. And a mix of bedtime and sunset function is also possible with the light slowly darker and the music is automatically turned off after the time set previously.

The radio, thanks to the sufficiently long wire antenna a good reception and a decent sound.

The accompanying Quick Start Guide is well done and gives a quick overview of all the functions. Although start-up after plugging in the power cord and the everyday handling of the light alarm clock from Beurer in itself is telling. And if you like it more precisely, for a detailed instruction manual in printed form also included. This is so far quite pleasant, as more and more manufacturers unfortunately to pass, the instructions enclosed with no longer printed but ask only available online.

Besides the WL 70 there is still comparable to WL 80. They differ, among other things through the practical storage area for smart phones and / or MP3 player that comes with the WL 80, the for about Euro 15, - (as compared to the SRP: EUR 20, -) will cost more.
In addition, the WL 70 has "only" about 4 Aufwachmelodien, the WL 80 total. 8
And even if it is not explicitly on the homepage of the Beurer WL 70 is thereby (the comparison function is as not as meaningful), both WL's have an auxiliary input and the WL 80 also has a USB port. The AUX port can be connected to your smartphone. We have indeed tried and it works pretty good sound. As we have our phones are not next to the bed, we use this feature as well as not. Who goes there as well, which can rely on the slightly cheaper version.

And compared to Wake up Light from another manufacturer can be said: it depends on the expectations of. The price of other light alarm clock is much higher, but it can serve something simple also. The WL 70 has a good price / performance ratio and certainly deserves a buy rating.
