* Worst customer orientation, I know. My inquiries have been the same ever shot down, I am to kindly contact the dealer, they themselves would answer me any questions
* Excessive prices - especially for (mostly very meager) services / functions. In general, any similar product from discounters offers heaps more features
* From environmental no trace (eg the lamp is not your own product)
* I think you're a planned-obsolescence company (who has not heard of it, just look for it on the Internet search)
But you make it, unfortunately, always be installed (at least one so superior) function (s), which represents all other vendors in the shadows - and I really tried many light bulbs, also a lot of previous models of Philips. Only perhaps comparable, me missing, the Lumie is Bodyclock 300th
Here it is the ingenious light or dimming for example. No one creates it, so a nice uniformly high / runterdimmendes light / recreate Radio. From the reddish dawn to bright summer. Uniformly high / runterdimmbar, without even a hint of stutter or bluish / / acting Neonmäßig end-stage cold.
Generally, I find, are monitored with light (compared with normal and Sleep.Phase.Alarm.Clock AXBO), still the most pleasant way (except of course be well rested so awake; o)) to wake up. Here one does not shy high from the bottom of slumber or will shortly rausgerissen front Happy-end dream.
Not so good, of course, this function works in a bright room.
The dimensions of the lamp are approximately ball big, just 20cm in diameter and 14cm deep, so quite remarkable, the space you have on the bedside tables also only times to shovel / have.
Light and / or radio to fall asleep with the other loudspeakers / light intensity possible, as defined in the Weckprofil. This is handy, because in the evening it will be more likely to want to be heard louder than woken so or brighter light than want to sleep at night / read.
Reading can be combined with the light quite well. Getting used to, since it is more a diffuse round light and no direct mockery.
At Philips, you have to first set up a Weckprofil (which tone or radio station and what light intensity after which time (which is adjustable from 20-40 minutes here). This profile is fixed and can only be changed there. Then you just still pushes the Alarm ON / OFF button -. with which you can then change the time but only every other changes you need to make in the profile is somewhat different than in any other one but it has seen through all OK...
The sleep function is nice. Set Radio and / or light, then press the Sleep, set time, if should be Zappe (maximum 60 minutes) and then the device is nice and even shut down and the mind also ...
Flaws and missing features (the predecessor partly yes, but already had) there are here again heaps. Never take the time to actually have any reviews or customer wishes to heart or improve on the basis of its predecessors? Oh, no, there was indeed the thing with the worst customer service ...
A few little things that criticize predecessors seem fixed. Light and radio do not interfere with each other with me. The radio sound is good at low and normal listening levels, not Plastikboxmäßig. If the power fails short, time / receive the Weckprofil remains. I'm testing just yet, for how long ...
Here caveats that I have found and that bother me:
* The first lamp flickered at level 13 as a strobe. On transformer it was not, was a German. So Amazon Thank flawless Returns
* The manual is very lean and very chaotic. Hardly text (1-2 sentences per page), but lots of pictures. Just 19 pages, and then even in 3 languages. I once scanned a page. Set the radio I was asked, for example: yes, and as I am now vice additional transmitter but it really seems to be so. One can only tune in a station. Joke right? and not even by number be entered, but you have to through the whole transmitter band by click backward or forward through. But at least you can to awaken (Weckprofil) and to listen to adjust two different stations
* The time is no clock. This means every few weeks again for a few minutes to correct
* You can only adjust the contrast, but the display does not provide complete dark. Sleep hygiene minus. I've bought myself a small, thin bookends that I before / topsy point. Thus, it is dark at night but I can peek around it on time, if it must be, or the support to move away
* The wake consists of two functions. Light and sound (radio or natural sound). So first light slowly coming to him for and after the lighting time radio is switched on / tone, if one should still not be awake.
To switch off but you must then turn off both functions separately. Otherwise, you can the alarm simply "run". After about 1 hour, then turn off everything. But alarm for the next day remains
* Wake up can only be switched on or off. Within this campaign you can at most change the time. Light or sound you have to adjust in Weckprofil when needed. The demo version of what you have set in Weckmenü, takes 90 seconds - far too long
* It is not possible to own music, for example, play an MP3 track and even cooler would naturally Internet radio (for example via the iPhone). Since there would be enough thematic channels, which do not require advertising / Moderators
* The nature sounds are OK, not too short sequences or artificial sounding, but annoy me still after a few minutes. If I still want rumdösen 15 minutes, the is nothing to wake up, but rather to doze off again (unless you take the nerve factor), he prefers Radio
* The operating buttons are located above the edge and unfortunately are barely noticeable at different heights. There are always 3 adjacent (light / down / lighter, generally turn radio off / out / loud / bright). On the average, although a little bit raised line on the edge but still is in the half-light, if one goes about it with your finger, nothing clear
