A great product

of Matt from Bristol:

I bought this as I struggle with getting up in the mornings in the dark in winter.

Pros

It works a treat- the light gradually comes on 20 minutes before your alarm and is at full brightness when the alarm goes off.
At the time set for you alarm you can choose from the inbuilt nature sounds which are not bad or to wake up to your radio station of
choice or a buzzer.

A nice feature of this is you can set the you can set the brightness intensity of the lamp to between 1 and 20.

Also very useful is you can set the volume of the radio or nature sounds you want to wake up to.

If you prefer to wake up to your ipod or mp3 player you can set the alarm as normal with the sounds on the alarm clock and/or an alarm on yor ipod or other mp3 player with your favourite music and plug your ipod or mp3 player in to the aux in input with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable (does not come as standard with alarm clock).

You can also set a second alarm to make doubly sure you don't miss that morning meeting.

Cons

The main drawback of this is that the display light can be dimmed but not turned off. If you are sensitive to light this may keep you awake.This is why this is not a 5 star product.

Only other criticism is that it takes a little time to set up and get used to the way alarms etc are set which could be simpler(but full instructions are provided)

It takes E14 lightbulbs which are inexpensive and widely available and has a battery backup in case you lose power. Battery is CR2032 flat Lithium battery also inexpensive and easy to get where I am in the UK

If in the UK you may require an EU-UK adaptor

Overall a good product.

The Denver CRL-290 is a clock radio with integrated wake up light for a gentle wake-up with both sound and light. To this end, the device simulates a natural sunrise with a slowly fading light. The specially designed light diffuser provides a pleasant, natural light making waking up in the morning a pleasure rather than a pain.

The alarm can be set to radio, a buzzer or a choice of 3 soothing soundscapes (sea, forest, stream). An auxiliary input lets you connect to external audio components, such as MP3 and CD players with the device.
