I was just wondering if Lumie had a travel clock version. I use the mid-priced Lumie light and love it, so would like something portable that I could take when I travel on business or holiday.

The only problem I have is that the alarm setting sneaks up about 5 or 10 minutes over the course of the day, so I have to make sure the alarm is set to the right time before I go to sleep. It only started doing that in the last year. I’ve had it for 3 years and it works fine. I use the light with the radio because I like to wake up to classical music.

Hi Clare, neither of ours have buzzed at all, so perhaps you have a dodgy transformer. It’s probably worth giving Lumie a call, they were exceptionally quick to ship us a replacement when we reported a fault with ours.

We have the Lumie advanced bodyclock as well and we quite like it except for two gripes

the transformer inside it makes an irritating little buzzing noise so in order to sleep we have had to put it on the other side of the room which makes it harder to use its ‘bedside’ features; and

the clock seems to gain a minute or so every couple of days so we are always having to reset it

For these reasons, we keep looking at other manufacturer’s models but are hesitant to buy in case they also buzz.

sending back the second one to go wrong or be faulty, this time whaen it was dimming, it would ( occasionally ) flash like lightening, scaring the kids, then it just refused to come on in the morning, would turn on manually though.

I do not intend to go back to this model, when it works it is good.

The comment from Ken Jewell - I think you’ll find he works for morningsunrise (I’m not certain but please do ask him and please beware slippery replies)

(and I, to be clear, am financially connected with Lumie, and these products are my babies)

It is better than an alarm, I couldnt say I have noticed any benefits from SAD, I get up at 7am, with this lamp I am comfortably awake at 6.50.
my only complait is that the light stays on for just 10 mins after the time you have set . so, if you dose off, you have had it. You are returned to a comfortable dark sleepy room !!

Hi Sally, it’s certainly better than a shrieking alarm for not waking the other half. I often work until 4am and if Em has an alarm set for 7am then it barely stirs me.

I’ve been looking at the Lumie Bodyclock because I’m convinced it would be a better start to my day than having the radio shout at me at 6.30am each morning. My concern is that my partner doesn’t need to wake at the same time as me. How bright are these clocks; is it possible to use them without waking others in the room?
