Philips HF3500/60 Wake-Up Light

The Philips HF3500/60 is a budget level dawn simulator and is the #1 Light Therapy seller on Amazon.  If you don’t need the extra features of the HF3520 (or don’t like its price tag), this model is suitable for most applications, but be aware that the lamp is not replaceable.

Features

Sunrise Simulation

The Philps HF3500 has a yellow light for sunrise simulation that wakes you up naturally.  The light has 10 brightness settings and is intended to mimic the sunrise, increasing light gradually over the course of 30 minutes from dim yellow to bright yellow light.

Gentle Beep

hf3500_2In addition to sunrise simulation, this model features a beeping “alarm” that gradually increases in volume over the span of 1.5 minutes at the desired wake up time, to ensure you’re awake.

Bedside Lamp

The HF3500 includes a bedside lamp feature that allows you to read before bed.

Snooze

Just like your favorite blaring alarm, the Philips HF3500 also has a snooze button.  The unit will enter snooze mode for 9 minutes, and then begin playing the gentle beep sound again.

Powered by Scientists

Philips claims that their line of wake-up lights are the only ones “proven” to work by independent clinical research.  They state that their wake up light wakes your more naturally, energized, and with improved mood.
