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

I wanted a clock that didn’t force me to purchase an app or look at my phone before bed. I love this clock so much. It has a selection of sounds and a great sunrise simulator that always wakes me up on time. I first tried the cheaper version but I like this one because you can change the alarm sounds or have an option to extend the sunrise to 45 minutes. The other one is great if you don’t mind waking up to beeps.

I'm obsessed, and I'm really happy I made the investment to purchase it. At first, I was a little bit hesitant as it is expensive, but after a few days of use I already know it's going to be something I use religiously.Every night since I have set it up, I've been asleep before the sunset function has switched off. The morning sunrise light is also a really gentle way to wake up, having it feel a bit more natural, rather than being jerked awake by an alarm clock.Overall, really happy and highly recommend.

Bottom line: I love this alarm clock and I hope the same is available if I ever need to buy another.PROS1- I found setting up the clock to be relatively easy and, more importantly, I found the instructions easy to remember. (One alarm clock I purchased and returned had ridiculous, Rube Goldberg-like, instructions and I was late to work many times due to the alarm not being set correctly.)2- The sounds available for the alarm are better than I have found elsewhere. (Though I do not know who thought goats would be good option?) I like their version of the standard alarm beep, the cafe din, and the birds.3- I love a 24-hour alarm clock; you never have to worry about accidentally setting the alarm for PM instead of AM. Very happy with this feature.4- I love (LOVE! ❤️) that the display shuts off completely when the room is dark.CONS1- It does feel and look cheaply made, but it serves its purpose.2- I do not like that the light does not shut-off once you turn off the alarm, you have to dim it manually. (Supposedly, the light is to turn off automatically after 90 minutes, but mine does not.)3- I would have liked to be able to program the sunset feature to begin every evening.

I like the design and the simplicity of it but the sound could use some improvement. Setting the audio to Beep, Blackbird, or Crickets at night is fine but anything with bass/lower frequency and the tiny speaker in a thin plastic cabinet, sounds exactly just that. For the current price tag, Lumie could have created a better audio experience and a proper battery backup. Also, two of the audio choices are "Goats" and "Cafe". I would have rather had a light rain and river/creek sound options instead. And the lowest audio level of Thunderstorm and Waves is too loud for sunset mode and don't sound as good, as described above. One more thing. If you want a 12 hour clock instead of 24 hour, you have to hold down the ALARM , MINUS and SUNSET keys simultaneously before plugging in the power source. Then release them when you see dashes on the screen. You will now be able to select 12 or 24 hour time.

This clock has been helpful to me. However, you might want to know ahead of time that it uses a 24-hour time system instead of AM and PM.
