A bit more detail missing in other reviews
There are a few more details I think that will help make the decision for/against this purchase if you are considering it:When I was considering this and reading all the reviews, it sounded like the light alarm would not automatically turn off. I found that if I set it for a time (4 AM, so starts to ramp up at 3:30 AM) it will automatically turn the light off after 2 hours from ramp up (5:30 AM). I set my alarm to radio with sound off, so I'm not sure what happens with the sound portion if you let it run like that, so YMMV.I had gotten the impression from another review that you had to toggle the alarm on/off every day to turn the alarm off/reset it for the following day.

Light gradually increases for 30 minutes before your alarm time to gently prepare your body to wake up and feel more energetic at the start of your day.

Simulates Dawn to Wake You Gradually
The official light therapy product of the National Sleep Foundation, the Wake-Up Light wakes you up by simulating sunrise. Light gradually increases for 30 minutes before your alarm time to gently prepare your body to wake up and feel more energetic at the start of your day.
When you turn off the alarm using the lever, the lamp stays on to give you the opportunity to get out of bed without switching on another lamp.
Choice of Four Natural Sounds or Radio
At your set wake-up time, you'll start to hear a natural sound or your selected FM radio station. These sounds start out quietly and take 90 seconds to reach your selected full volume level. There are four sounds you can choose from: morning birds, a beep sound, and wind chimes. A snooze button feature lets you enjoy nine more minutes of sleep before the sounds start again. For further convenience, the Wake-up Light Plus features two alarms, ideal for weekday/weekend settings.
Choose Your Light Level for Natural Awakening
Because different people have different light sensitivities, the Wake-Up Light lets you select the light intensity that best suits your personal preferences. The intensity level can be set up to 250 lux. Higher settings typically correspond with shorter wake-up times, while lower settings may result in a more gradual wake-up process.
USB Connection Allows you to Wake up to Your Favorite Tunes
The Wake-Up Light Plus has a USB connection for easy mp3 or smartphone hook-up. Let your favorite tunes help start your day on the right note.
Smart snooze - Tap Anywhere to Snooze
You can put the Wake-up Light into snooze mode by simply tapping anywhere on the product. After 9 minutes the sound will gently start playing again.
Fall Asleep with Diminishing Light and Sound
The Wake-Up Light can also help you wind down and drift off to sleep at bedtime. The dusk simulation feature works by gradually dimming the light and lowering the sound to help you drift to sleep.
Bedside Lamp with 20 Light Settings
The Wake-Up Light can be used as a bedside lamp for reading. The 20 different brightness settings allow you to choose a light intensity that's best for you. It has an easy-to-read digital display. Menu, select, and volume buttons are conveniently located underneath the time display.
