Our Findings from Using the Vimicy Wake Up Light

This is one of the few alarm clocks that allows you to turn the time light completely off. It’s a nice feature for those who want to use this product as a lamp and sunrise/sunset simulator only or struggle to sleep with any light on in a room.

Although you can charge this unit with a USB, it works better when plugged into a standard outlet. The light levels are more consistent when power is being supplied to the unit instead of having it be powered with the internal battery.

The nature sounds for this model only sound when it is used for an alarm. It doesn’t give you the option to run the sounds all night long. You also need to cycle through the sounds to find the one that you prefer. You can listen to the FM radio at your convenience and the built-in antenna does a reasonably good job of acquiring a signal.

Make sure you have 2 AAA batteries at home so you can take full advantage of the features this sunrise alarm is able to provide.
