Waking up is always an unpleasant ordeal for most of us. It is at that time that we wish we could extend the sleeping hours by a few minutes, especially in cases where you are woken up by the loud ringing of your ordinary alarm clock. This is the reason why I recommend that you go for a Philips Hf3470 Wake-up Light to wake you up in a more gentle way to be ready for the long day ahead. This gadget combines both light and sound to wake you up over a long period of time rather than the usually imposed wake-up call from alarm clock sounds.
Features:
1. Light: The Philips Hf3470 Wake-up Light produces natural light whose intensity gradually increases over a set period of time until you are fully awake. This introduces your body to daylight in a gradual way without imposing it on you.
2. Sound: Once the set wake-up time has been reached, the device plays the alarm sound in an increasing volume. You are also able to select the maximum volume that will be reached by the wake-up sound.
3. FM radio: There is an option to choose an FM radio station to be played as your wake-up sound.
4. Digital Clock: There is a small screen that displays the time.
5. Snooze Button to delay the wake-up alarm by a set number of minutes.
Pros
- Replaceable Bulb: The halogen bulb used in the device is replaceable in case of damage.
- Increasing light intensity and volume over a set period means that the user is gently woken up.
- The maximum light intensity and the maximum alarm volume can be set depending on the user’s preference.
Cons:
- Only two wake-up sounds to choose: You can only choose between the ‘morning birds’ and the ‘beep’ sound.
