Philips takes a slightly different approach with a sunrise that progresses through red, orange and then yellow light over approximately 30 minutes.
The HF3531/01 offers seven wake sounds, 20 brightness settings, FM radio and two alarm settings.
It lacks some of the extensive customisation offered by the more advanced Lumie models, but remains a polished alternative for someone who prefers the Philips approach to simulated sunrise.
