For many, many years (I think I have now had the predecessor more than 10 years, unfortunately, was finally broken the wheel, so that the lamp permanently poorly lit and could no longer be dimming up) I'm enjoying it now already that behind brought me to have.
It is true exactly as described in the advertisement (except one has already a "bright" bad abzudunkelndes bedroom and must always stand up only when it's light outside):
The lamp brings an infinitely gently out of sleep - at best, you feel like on a vacation in the summer: You just "slept". Dimming is a very gentle, in my sleep you do not get this moment with. And most of you wake up entirely on its own, before a gentle birdsong (me enough volume 3 of 10 as fully) terminate the firmest sleep in an emergency.
These lamps are a magnificent quality of life for occupational early risers. Actually, just as essential to life as a shower / or bath (one could indeed with wash cloths and dish - well you can lssen ringing an alarm clock ...)
Based on this new version:
It is a lot less expensive than the previous (so that I have now separated me from the old with small malfunctions) plus cute small! Had the predecessor but spent quite a lot of space, here the diameter is slightly smaller than a breakfast plate, to flat and also the stand is not a lot of ground.
The system is operated intuitively via touch.
Radio reception ... well ... "Wurfantennne" halt - what do you expect. But I prefer anyway the birds sounds (very natural !!!!) that can be selected even now in two variants.
Certainly there will be much more expensive versions with manual connection etc. soon.
For "Snoozen" it is sufficient to touch the frame "somehow".
Something desperate I was, therefore, looking for the control of the display brightness (which was extremely in the beginning - because the bedroom lights the night according to the instructions I suspected the switch also to the frame via touch (drawn exactly like the snooze function. .) When I took the clock from the alcove out to mask off the display with foil then I discovered the switch quite hidden behind (lateral) at the foot .... The instructions not as described - but good: He is there (and works beautifully, the display can be very, very weak set so that the time is no longer illuminates the room and is in the dark only to read if you want to read it ...
Also very positive: Compared to its predecessor, the if you went close as easily "buzzed" for sensitive ears is this lamp / clock now absolutely still.
Although 100 marks (yes, I still expect to ...) are for an alarm clock / a lamp still a lot of money - but seriously: We sleep almost half of life, a good mattress will cost loosely 1000 upwards - and more you can in the long run its proportionate quality of life for 50 not improve, as this clock ....
A purchase-must - only those who have not had something like that will think they can do without it ....
