I really like the Wake-Up Light. It's a great way to get up.

The Wake-Up light is a very pleasant way to get up. First the light slowly comes on, and then an alarm sounds. Much more pleasant than just a loud noise like most alarm clocks.
I often use just the light. Since I'm retired, I usually don't have to get up early. I let the light come on, but turn the alarm off. If I notice the light, I must be ready to get up. If not, sleep some more.
That results in the one problem I have with the Wake-Up Light. For either of the alarms, setting them to off does not turn them off. Set to off, the alarm still goes off and makes sounds. It isn't very loud, but in a quiet room, it's enough to wake me up. I really wish Phllips would fix it for me.
Pros: a great way to wake up.
Cons: needs a little redesign described above.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Life Changing Device

I call this my life-changing device. No more jangling alarms, the wake-up light never fails to get me up in a natural and gentle way, even on the darkest winter mornings. It is easy to program and the radio has great sound. The design could be better, though. The control buttons are a bit awkward, it is such a pain to change the radio station that I just leave it permanently on one station. The volume and light intensity buttons are made for people with small fingers, the buttons are so close together that it's easy to turn the volume up when you mean to turn it down. Durability is also an issue. I am on my second light, I got the first one for Christmas in 2010, it broke in April of 2012. The warranty is great though, I had no problems getting it replaced. All in all, I love it and would not want to live without it.
Pros: works well
Cons: durability is an issue

I love this wake-up light. The light brightens my whole bedroom in the morning and the light starts a half-hour before the alarm when I have to get up.
I have SAD and depression. It has made a big difference in my mood for the morning wake-up. The light is very gradual and by a half-hour later when the light is the brightest I'm ready to get up.
I also like the choice of sounds to wake up to.

Not bad and the best I've been able to find so far.

This lamp is not user friendly to program and the instructions aren't great, but once you have it set up it works pretty well. If the cycle gets to the point where the audio alarm comes on, you have to turn the alarm off and then remember to turn it back on later in the day or the light won't go off, or you have to turn the light off manually and the light button isn't convenient to find in the dark. I wish it had a battery back-up. I'd recommend it only because I can't find one better for the price. It is pricey even at that, but it seems to be well made, just not that easy to set up.
Pros: well made
Cons: no battery back-up, not easy to program, have to turn light off manually during alarm cycle, light stays on during snooze cycle

Can't live without it!

I've had mine for quite a few years now and in the fall and winter I can't go a morning without it. I am able to wake up easily, often without having to hit the snooze multiple times. Even more, we use this as our primary light in our bedroom. It is less powerful than the overhead light since we can easily control the setting. It is worth every penny! My only caution is that the top of it can get hot if it's been on a long amount of time so be sure not to set anything on top of it.

Changed My Life

I got this as a Christmas gift and it changed my morning routine. I have to be at work at 6am every day so having this light made morning way less painful. I even wake up on my own now before the alarm goes off. I highly recommend it.

Makes waking up an enjoyable experience!

Getting up used to be a difficult, stressful process, especially when trying to get out of bed when it's still dark outside. I woke up to an obnoxious alarm, would hit snooze at least two times, got up grouchy, and I was often late for work from all the procrastinating. Now, waking up is a slow, methodical process that incrementally wakes me up in a relaxing, peaceful way. I actually look forward to getting up, and being late for work is no longer an issue! Also, I have ADD, so finding the motivation to start the day was always difficult. Waking up with the feeling of sunshine on my face and the sound of the soothing alarm has helped me greatly, and makes me a happier morning person overall! I love this product, and I have been recommending it to my family, friends, coworkers, and even my ADD coach!!!
Pros: wake up with the feeling of sunlight on your face, waking up is a relaxing methodical process, no obnoxious loud blaring alarm, no longer hitting snooze 2+ times, makes waking up easy when it's dark or overcast, helped me stop procrastinating, increased my motivation to get out of bed

I used to wake up cursing my alarm clock! This light has my body waking itself up before the sound starts. I can usually lay in bed for a bit and gather myself together to get ready for the day. I LOVE IT!!!
