I bought this item to replace my clock radio and bedside lamp, but that didn't quite work out. The light from the clock is VERY BRIGHT. In fact, too bright if it's on your nightstand, unless you wear eye covers to sleep every night. Also, the clock is 24-hour only, you can't set it for 12 hr, AM/PM, which is annoying to me.
The light isn't bright enough, though, to replace a standard bedside lamp. So this had to go in another room. It's perfect if you need a bright clock, ambient sleep white-noise (I prefer my own choice of music), and a lamp that provides soft lighting. It does shine in other colors than just white, but not as many as the app shows. The light itself only shows in about 7 shades of color, none of them pink. I tried in as small of increments as I could, multiple times, to get pink, and have never achieved it.
That may not be a deal-breaker for most people, but if you like the idea of limitless choices of color, you don't get that. It's not that sensitive.
On the bright side, though (pun intended), having any gadget that you can control with an app, set to go on and off on schedules, control when you are away from home (freaks out the pets every time), and has a clock you do not have to worry about setting - it always has the correct time, even for Daylight Saving Time - is a bonus. That's why I only delete 1 star, and that's my personal opinion, take it or leave it. Overall, it's not a bad purchase, but I do wish I had just bought a lamp for my purposes.
