This is a fabulous, well intentioned present that I wish I had wanted! Unfortunately, as a parent the pleasures of waking up slowly to the light or relaxing to the specially recorded music (rainfall, waves etc) or soothing voice (amongst a host of other features and options) were things that I would have liked to have used but it wasn't going to happen anytime soon! I did assemble it (put the light inside and the dome on) and tried it for a couple of days to confirm my thoughts and came to the same conclusion: it was something I'd love to have in the future but not for now so I packed it away into its original box with the manual and put it away. That was about a year ago - then recently I thought that there was no point to keeping it indefinitely - and so I've decided to sell it.
Unfortunately, when I took it out of the packaging to check that it still worked it slipped and the awkaward way I managed to catch it resulted in a small hairline crack of about an inch to the rear side of the casing. Naturally I'm kicking myself but can confirm it was only minor damage and that the clock continues to work perfectly and the damage is in such a place as to not be easily seen.
To recap then, this great looking, brilliant clock/radio/light etc is still in great condition along with its original packaging and operating instruction manual. I believe this is Lumiere's very top of the range clock and normally carry's a retail price of £149.

**********
Elite is our top-of-the-range Bodyclock, an alarm clock that wakes you naturally, with a sunrise that gradually brightens over 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes; choose the one that suits you.
The light is a signal for your body to ease off production of sleep hormones (e.g. melatonin) and increase levels of those that help you get up and go (e.g. cortisol).
Bodyclock Elite has lots of extra audio features: start you day with one of the stimulating wake-up sounds e.g. dawn chorus, listen to the radio or choose a favourite MP3 track (requires SD card).
At the end of the day, a 15, 30, 60 or 90 minute sunset will help you to naturally unwind ready for bed.
If you have trouble dropping off Bodyclock Elite can help. As well as a choice of relaxing sleep sounds e.g. waves, there are two pieces of guided meditation created by Meditainment, the experts in sleep and well-being audio content. Sign up for FREE Meditainment content!
As well as providing you with dimmable bedside lighting, Bodyclock Elite has a nightlight feature and a security option that turns the light on while you're away.
Using a dawn simulator like Bodyclock Elite helps keep your sleep/wake cycle on track and has been shown to boost mood, energy and productivity levels for the whole day.
If you're not a 'morning person' Bodyclock Elite is simply a much nicer way to wake up. It's also an effective winter blues option and a useful complement to a lightbox in treating more severe SAD.
Lumie invented the first dawn simulators and so Bodyclock Elite benefits from a wealth of experience and customer feedback.
