Product Description
In nature, sunlight wakes you by triggering your body to produceserotonin, an energizing, awakening type of hormone. Even with eyelids closed, your eyes sense light and signal the production of serotonin. The Soleil Sun Alarm replicates nature - a better way to wake up. The clock's small, sleek, compact design takes up very little space on your night stand. Plus, you can easily pack it in your suitcase or shoulder bag when you travel, so you can enjoy the same gentle, refreshing awakenings when you are away from home. Though it is a physically small clock, it is a very unique, dynamic clock, loaded with many desirable features (see below) that enable you to gently awaken in a relaxed, refreshed state. You will really LOVE this truly amazing, very affective clock. Battery Back-up AM/FM radio Alarm: Alarm feature for waking or timing. Snooze button: 10 minute snooze feature with a 1 minute sunrise, with optional flash and beep at the end of the cycle. Flash & Beeper: Are you a heavy sleeper? These selectable features assist with waking by flashing or beeping at the end of the alarm cycle. Sunrise: Wake with the sun! This feature can be activated at intervals from 15 to 120 minutes, gradually increasing brightness to simulate a sunrise. Sunset: Activate a "sunset" at intervals from 15 to 120 minutes, gradually decreasing brightness of light to simulate a sunset. A great feature for the kids room. Nap Timer: When taking a nap, there's no need to reset the alarm time. Nap timer can be activated at intervals from 15 to 120 minutes. Custom Sunrise: The sunrise feature activates the built-in light which fades in from zero to full intensity over the selected time intervals of 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Security: Automatically turns the lamp on at random intervals to give the impression that someone is at home. Very Compact Size!-measures roughly 5" x 4.5" x 3" UL approved transformer 90 day Manufacturers Warranty

 A Complete Waste February 8, 2008
This tiny (I mean teeny-weeny) all plastic clock is nearly impossible to read, harder to set and operate, and is less bright then those plastic "seen on tv" touch lights. The dawn effect does not wake me (I'm a light sleeper) and it is not natural full spectrum light. I bought the adapter (Ka-ching$) and it doesn't work with my natural light lamp. A real rip-off. And it gains time, @5 min/week.
Not worth it! November 21, 2007

This product sounds good, but doesn't live up to its description. The clock ran fast, and the radio is cheap. The built-in light is very small and dim. I got the converter to be able to use my own lamp in addition, and this provided enough light, but I still had 2 problems with it. First, the light increase is step-wise in seven levels, not smooth. With my brighter light, the increases were noticeable and jolted me awake too fast. Second, the alarm-light function on this clock did not work properly. For example, I set it to reach full light at 6:30 am on a 30 minute cycle. It started the cycle early, shut off the light completely at 6:15, and turned it back on at full brightness again at 6:30. Not exactly a gradual waking process. I would not recommend this product at all. There are other much better products that don't cost that much more than this. Go with one of them, you'll be happier.
 Nice idea but poor execution August 6, 2007

The features of the clock are well selected- but they don't all work and those that do don't work well. The light is very small, too little to be effective unless the room is VERY dark. The accessory module turning on a 40W lamp helped a lot - until the module quit working. The radio can't get even nearby stations unless you take the thing apart, uncoil the antenna wire, and drape it across the nightstand; and even then it drifts so that the station you tuned in the night before is a haze of static in the morning! The speaker is small and tinny anyway, so the static doesn't make it all that much worse. Controls are all the same size and not laid out logically, hard to find in the dark. Overall, I like the wake-up-to-light concept but get a better product - I was very disappointed in this one.
Clock problems outweighed good compact feature set June 20, 2007

I bought this for winter 2005-2006 and haven't reviewed it until now. I live in Seattle and only need a dawn simulator when the days are short.
I liked this product for what it was; it's size and feature set were what I needed. The killer that earned this "1 star" was that it runs slow on wall power or batteries. I had to reset it every weekend because the clock would run slow. I kept another clock on my bedside table so I'd be sure to know the correct time and put a Post-It (tm) over the clock numbers. For winter 2006-2007 I didn't get this back out to use.
Good idea, mediocre execution April 27, 2007

This is a great idea, if this kind of thing works for you. Might not work for everyone, though.
The problem here is that this is a cheap (and poorly designed) clock radio with a lightbulb. For that, you pay a ton of money. If this was $20-$30, it'd be fine... but for the price, you'd expect more.
The buttons are small and hard to use. It never gets terribly bright, although I guess you could read by it (the wife does, although she used to just use a flashlight!).
But there is something nice about getting up with that even increasing light...
