According to our alarm clock expert
With the Philips Wake-Up Light HF3506/05, you'll start your day more easily, fresher, and with more energy. Light and sound combine to wake you in a natural way. The lamp emits a bright, yellow light and can be adjusted according to your wishes using 10 pre-programmed light settings. When your alarm clock goes off, it takes about 30 minutes for your bedroom to be lit completely to 200 lux. You can also choose to wake up with the sound of the radio. Over one and a half minutes, you'll hear this sound slowly increasing in loudness to the selected level. Still can't quite get out of bed after the alarm goes off? Use the snooze button to repeat the sound every 9 minutes.

Alarm options
Operation is very simple, the device is installed and ready to use in no time. There is a proximity sensor so that the Wake-Up Light display already lights up before you touch it. The background lighting of the touch keys dims automatically after 4 seconds. The intensity of the display can also be adjusted so that no annoying light comes out of the time display at night. During the day, the brightness of the screen is not adjusted, if you choose a setting that causes little light at night, the display can be difficult to read. There are no "buttons" on the front, it is 1 smooth surface with touch keys incorporated. In addition to the beautiful appearance, the alarm clock is easy to clean.
The alarm clock can also be used as a night lamp. Touching the button for lamp turns on the light. There is a light on the display that indicates whether the lamp is on (This is not necessary because you can see that the lamp is on) This light is also located on the display directly above the touch button to turn on the lamp. My own experience is that I am often in the wrong place to get the pressures on the lamp off. Personally, I find this indication superfluous. Also, the level of the light of the alarm clock is equal to the level of the lamp function. If I want to read in bed at night, I have the lamp level set higher than the alarm clock level. You have to adjust this setting yourself every time so that you are not woken up with too high a light intensity (can cause a headache). If the power goes out, the alarm clock will not keep the time, it needs to be set again. The alarm clock does remember the settings of the radio and the alarm time.

My old alarm clock had broken down, so it was time for a new alarm clock. Now with my previous alarm clock I regularly suffered from the unpleasant waking up due to the irritating buzzing sound. After some searching on the internet I came across the Philips wake up light.
I thought the appearance of the wake up light looked a bit cheap, this is actually the only downside I can think of at the moment. After using the wake up light for a few weeks, I believe that this is a must for all people with an alarm clock.
The alarm clock has 2 nature sounds built in to wake the user, in addition to this it is possible to play FM as an alarm sound. I mainly used the nature sounds because it is a peaceful wake up. About 15 minutes before the time you should be woken up, an LED lamp (brightness can be set in 10 levels) around the alarm clock will light up to wake you up in a soothing way.
I noticed that 9 out of 10 times I woke up by the light which is much nicer waking up. You also have the feeling that you wake up much more energetic because you are not immediately awakened. I am quite satisfied with this product.

Last Thursday I received and installed the Philips Wake-up light. The device looks sleek, is easy to install and worked as desired on first use. Last night, however, I was brutally groomed as the device (seemingly unprovoked) jumped into test mode. The light began to burn at its brightest and both radio and cricket sounds were played. The alarm clock buttons stopped responding and the device could not be operated. This resulted in a lot of cursing, yelling and a flying alarm clock. The device has survived the short flight and therefore appears to be solidly built.
