Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 - Wake-up Light Alarm Clock with 10 Sounds and Sleep Sunset, White

I absolutely love this alarm. I’ve used this for one evening and one morning and I think this could be the best purchase I’ve made for myself. I work from home and I have been really struggling to get out of bed during winter, most mornings I don’t get up until quarter to 9. This morning, using the Lumie, I’ve managed to wake up at 5.40 with little struggle. I’ve been energised all day. I’ve been trying to push back my wake time for two months and suddenly this device seems to have fixed this in one evening. I was wide awake ten minutes before the sounds went off.I also love the sunset option. I felt so sleepy last night watching it dim. I really felt like it helped to relax me.The light / brightness is fantastic, especially for the morning. I also love the orange / red hues for the evening.The sound could probably be louder however it’s plenty loud enough for an early rise as it’s so quiet at that time in the morning. Could potentially be too quiet if you are working shifts and needed this for the day? However if you’re sensitive to light and you have blackout blinds, you won’t need the sound at all as the light will naturally wake you up.Ease of use will differ from person to person. I looked up their video guides on YouTube and found it very simple.Overall I really do recommend this. I can’t speak to how long it lasts but I’m really pleased.

Aesthetically pleasing, brightness ranging from orange to white. It does do the job to wake me up gently and better than my blaring phone alarm. It has an added feature with gentle selection of noises. The brightness is truly bright and will be sure to wake you up alongside noises. Very customisable to your preferences.Things I like:1. Sunset and sunrise mood and options2. Timer for sunset, 20/30/45 minutes so you do not need to get up to turn off the lights3. Overall modern look4. Very bright in full brightness mode5. Digital clock turns off to the light sensitivity of the room

Item appeared to have a fault (lost time and randomly lit up red). Lumie exchanged it no problem.The replacement has been great and a nice gentle way to wake up (light only). I've had 2-3 Lumie products in the past and after my last one broke I tried a cheap alternative, it was no where near as good so came back to Lumie.It arrived just at the end of when my seasonal depression is at its worst so difficult to tell as would have been improving anyway as the days got longer, but it certainly helps my partner wake up for work more easily.When I first got it I used the light independently of the wake up feature and it was nice to have a little sunshine next to me, but thankfully recently the outdoor sunlight has been doi5the trick for me so not needed to use, but I will when it's a grey dull day as noticed it improves my mood, not necessarily my energy.The only minor annoyance is that you have to set it every night rather than being a recurrent alarm that you can set and forget about.It would be great if there was a feature for 2 alarm times (my partner gets up at 6am I get up later on), so it would wake him up then I can go back to sleep and wake a little later with it. Not sure if you are reading this lumie and would consider a more personalised wake up schedule where you could set the time for the week and have multiple in a day, so many things have apps now to do this sort of thing (maybe another model has this I just went for the basic). I think if you want low tech wake up light it does the job and works nicely as a SAD light as isn't too bright and in your face as some of them can be quite harshWould recommend

I'm in love with my Lumie. Honestly I was so long thinking about it, bought several cheaper options from Amazon... trying to find a reason not to buy such an expensive sunrise clock. But the truth is, I should have bought this before. If you want quality and a very gentle wakeup which actually simulates a sunrise, go for the Lumie. All the other ones I had, there was nothing gentle about the wakeup. They went so quickly to super bright, which shocked me more than being relaxed when waking up.But the Lumie is a different level. I'm so happy I bought it. I absolutely love the sunset feature too and the sounds which come with it. I feel calm and fall asleep so easily now. And the waking up is amazing. It starts of in a very gentle dark red.. and really gradually and slowly gets brighter (to your desired brightness level). It's fantastic!! That's what I call a sunrise! Not a shock haha. And the smart feature, that the clock display brightness dims or shuts off in complete darkness, is a game changer too! You can keep it on low brightness, or make that it turns off completely.I just love my Lumie and have nothing negative to say at all. Fantastic piece of quality! Well worth the money.

I wasn’t sure whether to get the Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 from a couple of the reviews but it’s brilliant! This one doesn’t have a radio so the speakers are fine for the wake up/sleep sounds, the sunrise/sunset colours are great, I like the display turns off at night and it's easy to use once you've got your head around the manual.Features/Pros:* Wake up or fall asleep to a realistic sunrise/sunset which gradually changes brightness/nicely fades over 20, 30 or 45 minutes* It really works to wake you up gently to a gradually lit room* 10 optional wake up/sleep sounds (other models have 15, 27 or 33 which seems like overkill)- Soft alarm beep- Birds (Lumie says tropical birds but sounds like tweeting and an owl)- Blackbirds (I found it the best one for waking up)- Background café chat (not great, sounds a bit like a train with the low rumbling background noise)- Bleeting goats with tweeting birds in background (a great one to use if you want to terrify yourself awake!)- Train- Thunderstorm (with background crickets, and sometimes sheep, on a loop of varying loudness) - would prefer gentle rain noise without sounds in background- Waves- Crickets (with very very quietly chirping birds in the background - wouldn’t have noticed if another reviewer hadn’t pointed it out)- White Noise* The display automatically turns off when it’s dark, which I really like and then will turn on again when a light goes on or it gets brighter (but you can set it to remain at low level via a switch on the base)* Small and stylish* To use as a bedside light, just use the plus and minus buttons to set desired light (don’t turn the sunset feature on or it will fade)* To use the fading sunset setting without the all-night night light:- When setting the alarm, choose option 0 for light setting (as that’s the night light setting not sunset setting) .- When you are ready to sleep FIRST use plus or minus to set your starting light level THEN turn the sunset alarm on- It will fade to no light over the set time duration from full brightness to nightlight/light off (will take less time if you hadn’t started at full brightness first).* You can set it to 12 or 24hr format, it’s just not in the instructions!- Whilst clock is off at the wall, press alarm, minus and sunset button simultaneously- Turn clock on at the wall and then let go of the buttons- Press plus or minus to switch between 12h and 24h- Hold centre button to choose your preferred optionThings to be aware of/Possible Cons:* Is expensive for what it is* Set up can be a bit confusing, especially the sunset but it does say how to set everything up in the manual (see above too)* To use full 20/30/45 minute duration for sunset setting, you need to set it to max brightness first (which is bright for night time) - if you set it at level 3, it would take roughly half the expected duration to fade to night light/off* It’s a daily set alarm so you need to press the activate alarm button every night before bed (whereas the Shine and Luxe models also have weekly alarms)* If you get up at different times, when you set a new alarm time, you can’t just change the time, it cycles through all the settings (alarm time, light brightness, light duration, sound option, sound volume)* Snoozing is 9 minutes, which can’t be adjusted* Snoozing also turns the sounds AND light off and the light then increases again until the alarm goes off again so you can’t just turn the alarm sound off and leave the light on for 10 minutes.* It would be nice if some of the sounds could be quieter for bedtime use* I haven’t had any problem with the buttons not being backlit but others reviewers have if that bothers youLumie Bodyclock Comparisons:Apart from the Sunrise Alarm, all the Bodyclock alarms have have varying lengths of sunrise/sunset duration with adjustable sunrise intensity, light-sensitive auto-dimming display, fully dimmable bedside light with nightlight option for fading light that stays on at low level or turns off, tap-control 9 minute snooze, integrated LED bulb with white, orange and red to mimic the colours of a real sunrise and sunset and daily alarm with optional alarm beep and 12 and 24hr clock. The differences between them are:* Luxe 750DAB - 15-90 minutes sunrise/sunset duration, also has low-blue white, blue-enriched white (low-blue light feature), also has weekly alarm, 33 sleep/wake sounds, USB-A, AUX input as well as Bluetooth speakers to play your own music or charge phone, DAB/DAB+ radio.* Luxe 700FM - 15-90 minutes of sunrise/sunset duration, also has low-blue white, blue-enriched white (low blue light feature), also has weekly alarm, 27 sleep/wake sounds, Bluetooth speakers to play your own music, FM radio.* Shine 300 - 15–90 minutes of sunrise/sunset duration, also has weekly alarm, 15 sleep/wake sounds, FM radio* Glow 150 - 20, 30 or 45 minutes of sunrise/sunset duration, 10 sleep/wake sounds* Spark 100 and Rise 100 - 30 minutes of sunrise/sunset duration (I can’t tell the difference in function except the look)* Sunrise Alarm - 30 minutes sunrise and sunset duration, 10 levels of white light for dimmable bedside lighting, 6 colours for mood lighting, manual dimmable display (high-low-off), 6 wake sounds (alarm beep, blackbird, goats, kittens, osprey, tree frogs), daily alarm, 5 minute snooze button

1-year review...For bedtime the sound turns off when the light goes out but if you start the light on dim it turns off really quickly and does not take the full timer time making it fairly useless, for example if you set the light on the lower settings it will turn off within five minutes not 45.The minimum volume is way too high. The thunderstorm sounds also have crying sheep in the background and crickets (which shouldn't be chirping in a thunderstorm and give the impression of a daylight sound scape) so you can't just listen to the rain without being distracted by distressed animals. The cricket sounds also have bird noises in the background which makes it feel like daytime!Good for the mornings but for night time it's really badly set up. Considering the price it's kind of depressing how poorly considered it is. The only sound which is quiet enough to fall asleep too is the cricket noises but these have the bird sounds in the background and the white noise and thunderstorm sounds are pretty much an assault on the senses because they're so loud.I have reverted to using my phone for nighttime noises and the shortened shut off timer when using low light settings means I'm just using my dim red side light. Very disappointing, it should dim more slowly when set to lower light settings to make use of the full timer length. Unless you set it at max brightness to start with it doesn't use the full timer length... and max brightness is way too bright for night time!When the night timer times out and the light goes off you also have to manually restart the sound while all the light is off, which means turning a light on to do it. But then it's not on a timer anymore. The thunderstorm and other sounds seems to be on about three minute loop instead of a full 45-minute recording which is really obvious and not at all helpful as your brain picks up on the loop. I would probably recommend just getting a cheaper model that only does the light and using it in the morning only because for night time this sucks.For morning the light is great for waking up without a start like with a regular alarm clock, but really and truly this is very much overpriced and could have been much better considered and designed. Its got three stars because of how helpful it is in the morning for waking up without an alarm. If only they'd got some proper testers when setting it up to avoid these glaring flaws.

living in a city centre, I find I need a blackout blind in order to get any sleep. The problem arises when you have to wake up and it’s pitch black.This light/clock solves all those problems. The steady progression from deep, warm glow to bright sunlight (brighter than you want to look at) is gradual and believable. I more often than not find myself waking up before the “alarm” sounds, as the light itself wakes me up.I say “alarm” because the sounds you can set the clock to make are far from alarming, having it set to a dawn chorus myself. They simply tell you what the light already has, that it’s time to get up. Sometimes I like to leave the sounds on for a minute or two while I get my head straight; something unthinkable with a normal alarm clock. The quality of the sounds is also better than I expected from other reviews. While not quite as good as real birdsong, the sound is also far from “tinny” in my experience.The sunset mode is also really useful. Having set it to a time of 45 minutes (From the brightest setting to the light going off), I mostly find myself never being awake by the time the light does go out, falling asleep naturally along the way. It works as a good reading light too, before you click the “sunset mode” button to start the slow fade to darkness. I find the light slowly turning off in this way stops my brain rebelling against the idea of enforced sleep as soon as the lamp is switched off (in the case of a normal bedside lamp), and gives me time to wind down with my thoughts before drifting off naturally.The controls and setup are exactly what they need to be - simple and effective. The buttons are high enough quality that I don’t feel they’ll ever fail, and the interface is well designed and intuitive enough that I only had to read the instructions once.This clock has been revolutionary for me, making the horrid experience of going to bed and waking up much less stressful.If there is any stress involved in the bedtime or morning routines for you, this clock will go a long way to solving them.

Been using over two years. Excellent product. It has no WiFi or radio signal so it does not disturb your sleep. Highly recommend

Arrived a day late and with an EU 2 pin plug.
