Philips Wake-up Light, waking up with light, 2 natural wake-up sounds HF3505 / 01 (household goods)

Customer Review

Unfortunately, the Philips Wake-up Light can not totally convincing. It meets on a secure (Knock light) or other (alarm) type its desired effect (waking), but there are some shortcomings in's operation and functions. The processing does not work quite as high quality as you would expect for the price.

So is already out of the box the light weight of the Wake-up Light call. The alarm clock is pretty easy with 270 grams, which he has no outstanding good stand. Unfortunately, it can not change the stand at an angle. A weight loss of the foot is also not possible, so could with additional devices also a hanging made possible. In this state, Wake-up Light is proving to be relatively inflexible. Otherwise, the device looks solid processed, it acts on the materials only something cheap.

The biggest drawback in my opinion is the fact that the Wake-up Light can relate only external power. A battery compartment is not present. But even worse is the fact that upon separation of the power source all data, ie clock and alarm and radio frequency are deleted directly. Consequently, of course is also unfortunately no clock. Very inconvenient and annoying.

The operation turns out happily as a largely intuitive. The touch controls are very sensitive to touch, rather the device already reacts when the fingertips are still about 1 mm above the control element.

The alarm function, the most important element, of course, largely convinced. The light can be set in ten levels and has a very pleasant effect. However, my girlfriend and I are not getting them awake, at the latest at the tone it then but as far. When one of the light (the gradually before the actual alarm is brighter) but awake, you feel optimally actually somehow fitter and more balanced as unpleasant conventional wake-up sounds. Here you can set two different alarm sounds quite pleasant (per slider) or radio.

In terms of design, the Philips Wake-up Light is actually described as visually appealing. Here there is a very minimalist, clearly comprehensible style that in my opinion, but something is disturbed by the not quite so noble orange light of the time.

The quality of the radio reception and -tons is adequate but certainly not outstanding. Here we have a typical clock radio quality. The receiver cable must be given if play around a bit that the reception is satisfactory. A pity is that only the frequency, but not the station name is displayed. A store favorites is unfortunately also not possible.

All in all, the Philips Wake-up Light is a solid device that unfortunately leaves much to be something in detail. That Aufwachlicht is certainly an interesting USP of Philips, which enables a more pleasant wake up for many a user with security than with traditional alarm clocks.
