I wake up at 4am for work and I only see the sun on the way to work. This light really helped me get up and not hit snooze 3 or 4 times. I also love the built-in USB charger and easy to use app. Pros - Built-in USB charger (it worked great for charging my smart watch, which has a short cord and would have been a pain to plug in to the nearest outlet) - Beurer LightUp app works great for both setup and control. You can easily set the time, radio presets, set alarms, snooze time, pick sounds, light patterns, brightness and control every function. - Most functions have a dedicated button and they are well laid out and good size. - Variety of sound options (sounds/radio/aux in) - Wake up light can be set to gradually get brighter as your alarm time approaches and the interval is adjustable. - Sleep function has a simulated sunset option that is really cool. Slowly dimming and changing to a reddish orange color over an interval you set while playing your choice of sounds. Other color combinations are offered, but this was my favorite. - You can set 2 different alarms with different times, light behaviors and sounds. - Light can also be used as a lamp or mood light with different rotating color patterns. Things to Consider - The snooze button and alarm off button are the same. The button is touch sensitive so just brushing it is snooze and depressing it is off - it works great and seems very natural when you are awake, but this got me a few times when I was sleepy. - The speaker volume and sound quality are fair - think nice clock radio. I would not use it to seriously listen to music or the radio, but it is fine as an alarm, listening as you fall asleep or background noise. - The light is bright, but comparable to a bright lamp. It works best if you keep your room dark. It may not be bright enough to get your attention if you already sleep with a light or are a deep sleeper. - When charging a device near the wake-up light or using the USB port I could occasionally hear some static from the speaker in a quiet room. It normally went away after a few seconds but is something to consider if you plan on having a lot of electronics near it.

Beurer Wake-up Light I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with this product i can pleasantly say I’m very pleased. The Beurer Wake-up light is a simple modern day alarm clock. The time is gently illuminated in a soft-blue backlight, and offers basic clock functions, time, AM/FM radio, alarm, etc, but what sets this apart is it will simulate a sunrise waking up, sunset going to sleep, with many colorful options in between. It’s super easy to setup, literally 30 seconds, plug it in, download the App, instant Bluetooth, instant identification. It’s a tad quirky in the app where you’re presented with a color graph circle, but you can’t drag your finer to select, without first clicking the center on/off button. Small grievance. The app is actually quite nice, particularly for setting you AM/FM radio station presets. Waking up is more pleasant, presenting an energizing feeling. One thing I’d like to have seen Beurer include however is fall to sleep audio, particularly by way of a white noise generator, or ocean waves, Forrest rainfall, etc. I have a separate RadioShack unit for that, but would prefer fewer bedside devices where i charge my phone, watch and AirPods nightly. Overall I’m very impressed, had low expectations, but this product clearly exceeded them all. Pros + excellent Beurer Wake Up App + Bluetooth to play your own music + Mood light “Rainbow” is super groovy + Pleasant soft blue backlight time display + Reading lamp mode is less harsh than bedside lamps Cons -build quality seems fragile, very lightweight -white noise generator would be nice, as would ocean waves, or rainstorm -cord could be longer (for weaving behind bedside table) -volume with radio is very light on bass, better for NPR talk radio Conclusion The Beurer Wake Up Light is a modern day alarm clock that offers many more features. The Mood features is particularly great for meditating, while the reading light is superb and much more pleasant and softer than bedside lights (adjustable via the app). I wasn’t expecting to like the light so much, and am glad to have been given the opportunity to review. Future versions i’d like to see TV broadcasts on the screen for the perfect travel device ;-) Recommended Buy

This light provides a lot of lighting and wake up options, but just doesn't feel like it was made for this day and age with so many innovative products out there. So the basics: you have a number of different lighting options (vast spectrum of colors) and you can set it to turn on at a certain time to help you sleep or wake up. The light connects to your phone via bluetooth so you can control it without getting up. You can also wake up to a number of different sounds. The light generally works for what it was intended for, but has a number of flaws in my opinion. First, it just feels cheap. The plastic used for the light and the base just don't feel very high quality. The digital display with the time is difficult to see and looks like it was from the 80's. Two, the sound quality isn't good. So if you want to plug your phone in to listen to music you will be disappointed. Third, yes, that's right, plug in your phone. I can't fathom why you would make a light with bluetooth connectivity but require a manual plug for you phone (some phones don't even have headphone plugs these days - I guess you can plug in your iPod if those still exist). Fourth, the bluetooth connectivity isn't good. It takes me multiple tries in order to connect my phone to the light (see picture of it saying bluetooth disconnected when I'm standing right next to it). The manual controls are not user friendly, so it makes if very frustrating. Lastly, the app doesn't always control as intended. I would like to wake up to just light without any alarm sounds, but I can't find an option to turn off the alarm. So I just put the alarm volume all the way down. Well, it still comes on at the same loudness as it always does. So some of the controls just don't work. I think you can find a better way to wake up that is more functional.

I'm loving this wake up light. I would call it an all in one device that should be in everyone's night stand. It has replaced my small night stand light. You can use it as a clock/alarm, but its much more than that. It has an LED light that can change colors depending on how you use it. If you use it to wake up, it can simulate a sunrise, or an energizing light. It does work specially if you wake up when its still dark outside. It will kind of "kick' your brain into "its daylight mode", so you feel more active and energized. You can also use it the other way, if you have trouble falling asleep, like me, you can program the light for it to simulate a sunset, or a relaxed mood. It will also play nice relaxing sounds you can choose (light a rainfall etc). You can program it directly using the buttons on the back, however if you download their app, everything becomes much, much easier. It connects to your phone or tablet via bluetooth, and from it you can control and program everything to the smallest detail, so I highly recommend it, check my screenshots. Oh, and did I mention it also has a radio function? It does have also a USB port on the back to charge any phones on your nightstand and also it has an aux minijack, I guess to input music and make it play from the speaker on the light. I highly recommend it if you have trouble falling asleep or waking up!!!

Never thought I could be so enamored with such a device but this thing is absolutely awesome! As awesome as the device is, the app is even better. There are certain companies who get it right and make the integration between the device and the app seamless and Beurer is one of them. Using the app on a 12 pro max with the latest software, it worked and it worked flawlessly every time, no doing this or doing that, it just works. Plug the device in, select the WL75 in the app and it automatically sets the date and time on the device from your phone, it does this every time even when the device is unplugged and plugged back in. You can control all functions from the app, alarms (only two, would like to see more), turn the mood light on, control all functions of the radio and set sleep functions. The only thing you can’t do with the app is snooze the alarm. One function I would like to see added to the app would be the ability to preview alarm tones, as of now you can only hear them when an alarm goes off. The device itself has a 3.5 mm headphone Jack to connect your phone and play your music through it and also includes a cable. It also has a USB jack so you can also charge your phone from the device. The only thing I would change would be a separate button for the snooze function. To snooze the device you lightly press/touch the power button, unfortunately sometimes I press it to hard and cut the alarm off. If you want a wake up device with multiple functions that just works, this is the device!
