Good Morning Sunrise Wake-up Light Alarm Clock with Nature Sounds
I had been looking at wake-up lights for a while and chose this product for a number of reasons.  It is reasonably priced (for this type of item), not too large to fit on an average nightstand, and user serviceable (i.e., the user can change the light bulb when necessary).  The clock was easy to set and delivers as promised.  It also is pleasing to look at.<br /><br />I had some concerns at first about whether the light would be sufficient to wake me up in the mornings.  I found that it works very well for me.  The wake-up light gradually increases in intensity and is hard to sleep through (which is the point).  If that is not sufficient, the light is followed by the alarm sound chosen by the user which increases in volume.  Being woken up this way is much less jarring than a traditional alarm or radio sounds (for some reason, commercials always seemed to be on rather than music when my clock radio went off).  The motion detector snooze feature also works very well -- a wave of the hand turns off the alarm for the period of time set by the user.  The user can choose the length of the snooze period, the intensity of the light, the volume of the alarm sound, and also the alarm sound itself (built-in radio, 6 nature sounds, or chimes).  This item also offers a choice of 12- or 24-hour (military time) settings.<br /><br />I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 because the built-in radio is disappointing.  The quality of the radio is poor and not conducive to listening pleasure.  My suggestion is to eliminate the built-in radio entirely.  The manufacturer could then lower the price (making this item even more cost effective) and/or add more nature sound choices.
Rating: 4 stars
