Thank you for doing a demo of what the sunset and sunrise look like with a timelapse and going into all of the settings. I've been researching quite a lot of the sunrise/set lights as I want to get my phone out of the bedroom and a lot of reviews do a terrible job of showing the main feature. I also like how these Lumie lights don't require a paid monthly subscription to get a good option of audio choices and setting up routines.
You're welcome - I'm glad the video was helpful. It took me ages to film the sunset properly, so it's nice to know it was appreciated:-) I also agree it's good there's no subscription service. I am seeing more and more sleep products charging subscription fees, so it's nice not to have that here.
Clear, simple & concise review. Been wondering whether to get this type of alarm clock for a while now, and I think investing in this type of device is worth it given how out of kilter we are with our natural environment and the process of falling asleep and waking up. I didn't want a budget one and didn't want Bluetooth (which most of the high end ones have), so as a mid-range product, looks like it ticks the boxes.
Thanks so much for this fantastic review - I learned more watching this than I did actually seeing one of these lights in a shop. Covers absolutely everything that I would want to know, including some reassurance that behind the impenetrable buttons there is a coherent control system!
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful, and thanks for the positive feedback too. The buttons are a bit fiddly, but the system is indeed coherent once you get to grips with it. I can't promise it won't be slightly frustrating from time to time though...
You're welcome Holly. Glad it was helpful! I know the setup is a bit fiddly, but it's well worth it once you get to know the light. I still use mine all this time later and love it. Even though I've tested a couple of others since, I always end up putting this one back on my bedside table once I've finished trying others out. So for now, it's still my favourite - all because of those deep reds and the bright reading light really.
Hi - great review, I think you might have convinced me! Just wondering what happens if it becomes unplugged/ powercut. Do you have to reset all the alarms again or does it save them? I travel occasionally and might need to unplug if going away for a period of time? Thanks!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the review and that it was helpful:-) I have unplugged it for a couple of hours before and the alarms were still the same when I plugged it back in. I'm not sure how long it lasts for though before resetting...
@@nosleeplessnights1 Thanks so much for your reply! That sounds good enough to me. We seem to get quite a few powercuts so good that it can manage with turning on and off again occasionally x
What about the front display at night ? Does it adapt to light or can it be set to very dark display ? I don't like to have light in my room when I'm asleep...
It does adapt to light, and dims quite a lot in the dark. There's also a button on the bottom to turn it off completely, so there will be zero light in the night.
I have just got this clock and when the sunrise reaches around 6mins before alarm is due, it goes off completely and the screen, then approx 2mins later the clock loads up like the power has just been reconnected and then the sunrise starts at the lowest and quickly gets up to the highest in the next 2-3mins then when it hits my alarm time it goes off completely again, then when it comes back on a couple of minutes later it starts flashing on screen “reset” and it has to be unplugged and plugged back in and wait a few minutes for it to come back on, any ideas on this or have I got a faulty one?
Hi Brad, sorry to hear you're having issues with it. That seems like a faulty one to me. I've definitely never seen anything like that happen with mine, and I can't think of anything in the instructions that would explain it as being normal. Do any other appliances in your place sometimes turn off and on again? Do you ever have an issue with power cuts or the electrics tripping? It not, I'd send it back and ask for a replacement.
Sir, which is the best white noise machine that can block highly loud noises from outside like dark barking sounds, construction works etc..and sir I placed the order named Homedics Ss2000 Soundspa Portable White Noise Relaxation Speaker...but it is not delivered yet.and in a meanwhile I came to know that it is not that great in terms of volume. If you please suggest me the better machine than this I can cancel this order. Please help.
Hi, so you're right in that the Homedics is not very loud. I would suggest the Lectofan, the Snooz, or just a Bluetooth speaker with a white noise app.
Hi Carol. It can't be run off batteries. As for the bulb, if it's in warranty, they will replace it. If not, it's best to ask the company for a replacement as well as I'm not sure how easily they are to obtain in normal stores.
I would assume it's LED's in there and it won't be replacable. However, LED's should theoretically last for 10-20 years and the light on this clock is used for less than an hour a day so it should last a long time, hopefully.

Thanks! This is a good wake-up light and I'm still using mine. If you do decide to get this one, or any other, I'd love to know your thoughts on it.
Thank you for this review :). Just ordered this. Been struggeling wakeing up early during the winter months. Hopefully this will help.
You're welcome! I hope you like it. I'm still using mine as I'm not currently testing any other wake-up lights and this is my favourite so far.
Really good, professional review WITH the waking up sounds etc feautures.
Thanks for the kind words - I'm really glad you liked the video:-)

Thank you for a great review! Just got this light for my birthday and you helped very much with the set up

You sold me on it - thanks for the great review.
You're welcome! The sunset and sunrise are really good, so I hope you enjoy it:-)
Great review. Seems better than the budget ones out there.
Thanks! I think it's considerably better than the handful of low budget ones I've looked at.
Thank you! Found this video very helpful:)
You're welcome, glad to hear it!
Is there an app to controll it???? I already have a cheap one amd there’s an app
To it
No, there is no app with this one.
Hi, what is the small wire on the back (not the power cable)?
That's the radio antenna
Thank you for the review! Is there a snooze function? :)
Yes there is - just tap the top of the lamp.

No problem. Let me know if you like it once you've had a chance to try it:-)
Thank you for this video! One question, can you activate sound while you sleep? I love hearing rain sound when I sleep. Thx
You're welcome. Yes, you can have the audio continue after the sunset and slowly fade out.
@@nosleeplessnights1 thank you for the quick answer 😊
You're welcome!

It does adapt to light, and dims quite a lot in the dark. There's also a button on the bottom to turn it off completely, so there will be zero light in the night.
Can you set the bedside light color? Can it be red? Or it is only white?
Yes you can set the colour. The red is quite dim though, but lovely.
Hi! Can you add more than one alarm for same day?
No, just one alarm each day. You can set a different alarm for each day of the week, but only one per day.

Sounds like you should contact Lumie about this, that's not how they're supposed to work.

My sunset option doesn’t fade to black.. it always stays on which wakes me up at night.. how do you set this??
You need to switch the nightlight option to 'off' inside the sunset settings panel.
@@nosleeplessnights1ok cool thank you!

About the light, is the light bulb replaceable and easily available.
Also can it be run off batteries.
Tks
