not wake me, or just with terror rather gentle and relaxed

Clock radio are indeed great, but if the power goes out, you have a problem. And normal alarm clock usually have indeed a quite annoying alarm. What a glorious idea to have to wake up to a sunrise, instead of being as usual awake roared.

Lumie can look back on a long tradition, has been producing years ago Lichtwecker what tempts one to the assumption that this clock would really mature. Unfortunately, I am not really convinced.
Ok, admittedly I am one of those people who do not have sleep problems and who do not absolutely need dark to sleep. However, I had expected that it works better.
To put it namely to take right away: Do not give the alarm only with light awake namely.

First, the function. This is very simple, there are three buttons, over which one can make all the settings. The light source is really bright and the alarm clock also ensures the same order on the bedside table, because its use as a lamp is also possible. Two in one so.
Other than the time and the alarm time, and 12/24-hour setting you can still decide if the light is to be supported by an alarm, in which case even a snooze function is possible when the alarm stops after every nine minutes resumes ,

The setting is simple and straightforward, what bothers me a bit is the fact that it lights up the display really bright and one that can handle only when the alarm is turned on. On days when you do without alarm, it lights up a so on the night of the page.
If you activate the alarm, the lamp simulates the evening a sunset, so dim the light by itself, until it turns off by itself. Very pleasant, I think.
Basically, it is so that the light slowly goes 30 minutes before your set wake up to the time set then the alarm will beep for the first time (one has since enabled him, but what a the display says). The lamp turns off after 90 minutes from alone from what I made of energy and safety (it is really hot) find a good thing.

Very excited but me one thing: If the power goes out or you pull the plug from the socket, the time for a whole hour remains current. That is, the clock continues to run and is up to date when the power is restored. This of course is great if you live in an area where gladly times the current is briefly away.

Unfortunately, the movement seems to be running not quite exact, because after a few days of operation, the clock is wrong by a few minutes.

In addition, the basic function, the wake-up, at least for me difficult.
The alarm clock I've used in the dark winter months the first time and you'd think, now it work very much better than in the summer when it's time to get up to the outside already much brighter.
But even at the turn of the year, the light alone can not wake me up. Sure, the sleep becomes lighter, it rich small noises from to wake you, but when it was quiet around me, I have slept on merrily.

So I had to additionally activate the alarm. And has it all. Me he is somewhat reminiscent of a fire alarm. It is effective, safe. I was the first beeping awake, but with palpitations and slight disorientation.

So I'm gone over to me again to provide a normal alarm clock in addition to the light to make the light alarm clock but the sound off.
So I'm already pushed half an hour before the alarm slowly wake up by the light in the direction and the alarm does the rest because of a need to really let the light alarm clock. When the light prepares your body to wake up, to get out much easier the bed.

Overall, a pretty marbled result. The alarm clock has some nice features, such as the storage of time during power failure. And for people who are a light sleeper, the light operates correctly as an alarm clock. For me this has unfortunately failed totally. Except that I'm better out of bed when another alarm clock woke me up, the alarm brings me nothing, because the built-in alarm leads me palpitations. Therefore, for me rather only one standing up, no alarm clock.
