Rating: - Good idea but no replacement bulbs!
I recently purchased this item and unfortunately the bulb was faulty on delivery. I was advised that I would be delivered a new unit as Philips have not yet released bulbs/replacement parts and were unlikely to until Jan 2010! This would have been a nice item but the lack of replacement bulbs/parts makes this a very expensive throw away lamp - look elsewhere.
Rating: - Faulty
I must admit i was looking forward to using this wake up alarm clock when i got it but unfortunately i had to send it back because:
1) the bulb was faulty when i got it (didn't work at all)
2) when i did try it out the clock regardless of the bulb not working, the clock made a slight but constant humming/buzzing noise which is no good when your trying to sleep.

Rating: - I've been using it for a year
I've been using this product for a year now (still with the same bulb it came with) and I like it.

Rating: - Disappointing but also good
Against: it's plasticky and ugly, the buttons on the top are hard to reach, the sounds (birds and waves) only have a 3 second loop to they aren't very realistic, it makes a slight hum which I can hear as I go to sleep, and it's not a SAD lamp, just an ordinary bulb (though maybe you could fit a daylight full spectrum bulb?). And of course the time you get woken up is quite imprecise since it takes 30 mins to light up, so if you need to get up at 7.20, not earlier or later, this is not for you. Also, ... Read More
Rating: - excellent alarm clock
I'm very happy with this alarm clock. I also like the design. As for the plastic I imagine this is necessary due to the heat generated by the bulb. I am still terrible at getting up in the morning but the light definitely improves my mood and willingness to get out of bed. You see the difference the moment you turn it off and plunge the room back into its wintry grey state. I also feel much more awake when i do get up. I haven't had any problems with the radio, it fades up very well and I get woken up by ... Read More
