CLOCKY Alarm Clock on Wheels (Authentic) | Extra Loud for Heavy Sleeper (Adult or Kid Bed-Room Robot Clockie) Funny, Rolling, Run-away, Moving, Jumping (Blue)

Product Information

The glossy orb design is arguably as attractive as that of the more expensive Philips models, and it’s definitely an upgrade from the plasticky designs of the lower-end choices. Nanda Home has a similar product, Ticky which has the same features as Tocky but with a digital analog-style face.

The clock’s sole button consolidates the light and snooze functions (doling out extra sleep in four-minute increments), and we found it effortless to use, even with our eyes closed. This is one of the most gentle alarm clocks – unlike annoying sounds or alarms, it does so with 40 LED lights that slowly get brighter so you are not blinded in one shot. To reduce the problem, many devices designed to operate on household electricity incorporate a battery backup to maintain the time during power outages and during times of disconnection from the power supply.Turning an alarm on or off, or changing the brightness of the light, requires fiddling with tiny buttons along the rim of the clock. To achieve that “bedroom-filling” light for less than a sunrise alarm clock would cost, you could try a smart bulb or network of smart bulbs, such as from Philips Hue or Wyze. If the tick-tock of some clocks’ mechanical movement tends to keep you awake, rest assured that this clock is completely silent—something we can’t say about the percussive passing of time produced by the Alessi Optic 02 B or the faint bzzzz emanating from the Marathon Analog Desk Alarm Clock with Auto-Night Light. But the output is fairly dim, even at the brightest setting, so it’s best used as an ambient light to help you find your way in the dark.

A lot of people have already extolled the value of using an actual alarm clock instead of the alarm clock on your phone. Everyone has their picks, and there are probably a few that come to mind: the sound of a crying baby, wall drilling, clock ticking, or an electric guitar are just a few. Invented for an industrial design class by Gauri Nanda, then a graduate student at MIT Media Lab, Clocky won the 2005 Ig Nobel Prize in Economics.The HF3520 has a good range of five alarm sounds, a backup alarm, a backup power source (so your alarm will still function in case of a power outage), and a decent radio. We measured each sunrise alarm clock’s maximum brightness level with a light meter in a pitch black room.

The Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520 starts with a more soothing, red-tinted light that gradually grows into a bright white light. You might be wondering how a sunrise alarm works, considering that your eyes are closed when you sleep. If the user goes slower than this, the beep of the alarm increases and the alarm resets to default, which asks the user to start the whole process again.Because digital clocks can be very small and inexpensive devices that enhance the popularity of product designs, they are often incorporated into all kinds of devices such as cars, radios, televisions, microwave ovens, standard ovens, computers and cell phones. We also found the clock’s light sufficiently bright enough to work as a decent reading lamp, making the Wake-Up the only clock we recommend that can do so. But it offers more alarm sounds and a wider range of brightness levels and programmable sunrise nuances. Our pick isn’t as bright as the SmartSleep, however—its maximum intensity is 300 lux as opposed to 315 lux (a measure of light intensity as picked up by your retina).
