Wake up naturally with Philips Wake-up light
The Philips Wake-up light wakes you up in a natural way, with light that increases gradually simulating the sunrise. From now on waking up will be a pleasant experience.
Wellbeing by light
Most people feel more energetic and fit during the bright and sunny summer season when they’re outdoors enjoying natural light. Both sunshine and daylight have a positive effect on us. When we are exposed to the right type of light, it helps to align our daily rhythm or wake up more easily. With this in mind, Philips has developed a complete range of light therapy products that boost your energy by using the unique health benefits light offers.
How does the Philips Wake-up light work?
Starting half an hour before your set wake up time, the Wake-up light gradually fills your room with bright light like a rising sun emitting natural light. The light gently prepares your body for waking up while you are still asleep. So, if the wake up time is set at 7 am, the light will gradually get stronger starting at 6:30. At 7 am the light has reached its highest level, which you can adjust to your personal preference. Choose up to 20 different brightness settings that allow you to use it as a bed lamp as well. At the set wake up time, your body is ready to wake up and natural sounds will gradually accompany the light. You will wake up feeling fresh.
Key features
Light settings
The sensitivity to light differs per person. In general, when using a higher light intensity a person needs less time to become fully awake. The 20 light intensities of the Wake-up light can be personalised and even be set up to 250 lux.
Sunset simulation
Sunset simulation is used before you go to sleep. Sunset simulation prepares your body to fall asleep by gradually decreasing light and sound to your set duration.
Three natural sounds
At your set wake up time a natural sound will play to complete the wake up experience and ensure you are awake. The selected sound gradually increases in volume to your selected level within one and a half minute. There are three natural sounds you can choose from, bird song, birds in the forest and Zen Garden sound. The Wake-up light will gradually accompany the light with sound when the highest set light intensity has been reached. You can choose to wake up with pleasant natural sounds or your favorite FM radio station.

Proven by the scientists
At this moment in time the Philips wake-up light is the only one scientifically proven to work. In order to make the Wake-up light the best possible product it can be in genuinely waking you up naturally and energised we have done a lot of clinical research. This research was conducted by independent science facilities to study and prove the effects of the wake-up light on the overall wake up experience. This way we have proven, among other things, that the Philips Wake-up light not only wakes you more naturally, but also more energised and that it improves your mood in the morning.
Developed by Philips
Philips was founded over a 100 years ago as a company that produced and sold light bulbs. Over 100 years Philips grew into a global company that brings innovation in lots of different areas. To this day lighting still is the soul of Philips. The Wake-up light is proud to continue its heritage by building on years of knowledge and expertise of the world's most well know lighting expert.

Customer Reviews
A few niggles:
- There is no USB functionality....you cannot add your own music/sounds to wake up to. Some reviews here say that there is one and they are very misleading. In fact, the most recent review at the time I was purchasing the lamp said there was a USB and I purchased on that basis. I have reported these misleading reviews to amazon.
- The birdsong is a bit tinny and on a very short loop (3-4 seconds) so you hear the same bird tweeting over and over again. Which is why it would be so good to add your own music/sound via USB. Oh, but hang on, you can't!
- The radio is not digital. You are at the mercy of the antenna wire and the strength of signal wherever you choose to position the lamp. Unfortunately I can't tune into my favourite radio programme, which would prefer to the tinny 3-second loop of birdsong.
- Philips' own product description says there is a coloured sunrise and sunset. This is incorrect. The light is white and just varies in intensity, not colour. Personally I am not too bothered by this but others might be.
- The buttons are a bit fiddly but with a bit of time you can get used to them and can locate them relatively easily.
Hope this is helpful.
I don't usually leave reviews but feel I need to here so that I can push the other reviews that misleadingly mention USB functionality further down the pag e(sort by newest first).
The streetlamps where I live are very bright, so since I moved to my new apartment I've had to use curtains that make my room pitch black at night. Waking in complete darkness coupled with an overly annoying alarm on my phone (which I, admittedly, could have just changed) made most of my mornings living hell.
Now that I have the HF3510 things are very different, and every single day since I got it, I have been waking up very relaxed and ready to start the day in a good mood. I have just been using the standard settings of the clock - it gradually increases the light to the maximum brightness within the last half hour before you get up - but it is easy to change this if you have different preferences.
The three natural sounds (of which you can choose one to play at your designated waking time) are nothing special, really, but they are all nice and pleasant to listen to. I, however, have found myself getting up and turning of the wake-up light before the sound goes off. No more snoozing for me, that's for sure.
The HF3510 is also great for ending your day properly as it includes a sunset setting which is more or less the other settings in reverse. I find this to be a great ritual to implement, so now I always turn the computer/TV/etc. as well as other lights off 20 minutes before bedtime and slowly prepare to sleep with only this light slowly decreasing the light in my bedroom. Very relaxing!
Lastly, it has a really great design and build quality. It has already impressed the few people I've had over since I got it. Plus, it also doubles great as a mood and/or reading light. It is also an LED light which saves you ever having to replace the light bulb as well as being good on the nature and your electricity bill.
In conclusion, I can't recommend this sunlight simulator enough. To get into how this (and the GoLIte more-so) affects the body's natural production of serotonin and melatonin in a positive way would make my review altogether too long, so I will just say that it really does. I live in Denmark where we have a long, dark winter ahead of us, so I am happy to have prepared myself for that with this excellent product!
Delivery was prompt and quick as per usual when dealing with Amazon. I see no reason not to give this 5 stars.
I got this, as my room is pitch black in the morning as I use black out blinds to keep out street lighting, and therefore find it difficult to wake up in the morning. unfortunately this sunrise clock lets off too much light just from the time display resulting in a sleepless night.
It would have been more suitable if the time was just in normal black with no lighting, and if you needed to see the time during the night you could press a button to light up a back light.
If it had not been for this one problem, the item would probably have been really good. Its fairly easy to use, it has a nice design, it can be used as a bedside lamp, it has a radio, it has a big time display, it has a sunset setting as well as the sunrise etc etc
Wife loves it
Does what it said it would do
Recommend it Thats why I have given it 5 Stars
