Up to 300 lux light intensity for both natural awakening and easy reading

In general, when using a higher light intensity a person needs less time to become fully awake. It has been clinically proven that you need up to 300 lux to affect energy hormones in such a way that you wake up full of energy. The light intensity of the Wake-Up Light can be set up to 300 lux. This makes sure you can wake up to the light intensity that suits your personal preference best.

I have to clarify that i bought this item from boots not amazon, but in looking on amazon for a replacement thought i would leave my review here also to hopefully prevent anyone else making the same mistake!
My fiancee bought me this lamp for my birthday in March, I have just returned the third one - all with the same problem of the lamp failing.
The bulb cannot be changed, but should last for something ridiculous like 100,000 hours. None of the three lamps i have had has lasted for more than 6 weeks! The item itself is really good whilst it works, but so unreliable - i wonder if the people who have spoken positively about it have had it very long?
The other negative is that the ipod / iphone plays as soon as you put it in the dock, so you then have to navigate into itunes and pause it manually - every time!

Lamp failed after a few days, though ipod feature still worked. Apparently, many buyers have had same problem. It seems the product hs serious reliability problems - don't waste your money.

I am very happy with my lamp. The design is great, it looks very nice in the bed side table. Light comes out a bit yellow, but it really wakes you up; I just had to raise it a bit over the height where my head rests on the pillow; it is also more effective when you have it close to you (40-50cm). No problems with the radio, just have to fiddle a little with the antennae to get a good signal. Excellent to recharge your ipod during the night and wake up with your favorite tunes; the drums option make a good substitute when necessary. The sound is nothing spectacular, but it is enough for me while I get ready in the morning. I have not used the sleep option.

Great idea but fails to deliver
I was bought this as a birthday present, and within a few months the bulb failed. We paid £15 to send it back to be fixed, and it was repaired and returned. Read more

It works!!
A bit sceptical when I first received it but it works. The light really does wake you up and you can set many degrees of brightness. Read more

Should have listened to the other reviews.
I had read the numerous bad reviews about how the light bulb always breaks....and should have listened. Indeed, after only 6 weeks the bulb broke. Read more
