Product Description
The Pearl SunRise Clock is derived from medical research on light and human behavior. In the early morning, the human biological clock is sensitive to low intensity light. So, waking to a slowly increasing light can result in a smoother, more natural transition to wakefulness. The SunRise Alarm Clock Pearl with White Noise has the ability to set different dawn and dusk cycles of 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes, adjustable display brightness, fade to nightlight, snooze feature and more. This model has a white noise option that can mask distracting sounds and lull you to sleep faster. It can cover up the sound of street traffic or a snoring roommate. The white noise can be programmed to fade out as the sunset light goes out, or stay on all night. Comes with hand made opal glass globe. One year manufacturer?s warranty.

 I love the clock Bio-Brite sunrise clock and I will purchase again October 28, 2005

I bought Bio-Brite sunrise clock about 10 years ago.
I was a medical student at the time and had to get up so early, but with this clock, I was able to get up so fresh! It was of this clock, I was able to go through the vigorous training.
Now 10 years later, the bulb went out. (I think I only needed to replace the bulb one time in the 10 years.) I could not find the same bulb anymore, and Bio-brite did not carry it. (They said I can buy it anywhere, but I couldn't find it.)
Now the clock is working as a regular alarm clock without the sunrise part, which is OK because I don't need to wake up so early anymore, but I still miss the dimming feature and rising in a bright light.
I figure after 10 years of use, I am happy to buy a new (and hopefully improved) sunrise clock.
If I remember, I'll post my review again after trying this model.
---Update---
Overall, I really enjoy having the new sunrise clock back in my life. I usually wake up nicely in a gentle glowing light without hearing the artificial alarm sound. This new version allows me to set how many minutes I want the clock to glow to full or to diminish (this is when you go to sleep.)I think there is a feature where the light comes on and off automatically to let potential thieves know that somebody is there when you are actually out of town.
I really like the time display. When you set the alarm for the morning, it dims, so it does not disturb my sleep, yet when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can see exactly when I got up. This was not possible with the old version.
The only thing I might complain about is that when you set up time etc, it is very cumbersome. You have to push the bottons multiple times to get to where you want it, and also once one function is set, you have to wait 7 sec (?) to set another function.
If you basically wake up the same time every day, it should not bother you. Once the first setting up is done, all I do is to push one alarm bottom, and I'm ready to go.

The same clock is listed in Amazon twice but one is more expensive. To pay the very lowest price, go to the Biobrite site or Sleep Well Baby, you will pay much less and free shipping ( at least when I ordered it). They also offer replacement globes for those who can't find them elsewhere.
a MUST-have for sound sleepers and shift workers May 15, 2007

I've been a very sound sleeper all my life. Likewise, all my life, I've been in search of an alarm clock guaranteed to wake me up. No sound-based clock could ever be counted on because I could (and frequently did) get up, walk across the room, silence whatever was blaring, ringing, or buzzing, and get back into bed and go back to sleep and never know I'd done it till I woke up having seriously overslept. I'm also a night person who, for much of my life, has had to live on day people's schedules. It's a bad combination.
Sound familiar? If so, this clock may be the answer for you as it was for me. I love this clock. (Note: Mine doesn't have the white noise generator so I can't comment on that; otherwise, it's identical to this model.)
The light gets brighter in a way much like the sun brightens the morning sky - consistently, over a set time span. The light it produces is very natural, very "sun-like". Experiment with where in the room it's best for you. I have it on the bedside table, not quite where it shines right into my face but close enough for it to register, as if I had an eastern-facing window right by the bed and there was never a cloud in the sky at sunrise...and sunrise is whenever I need it to be.
You can also set it to begin beeping, but I seldom need that; if you like a snooze-alarm, it has that too. Once it starts beeping, you can hit a button to turn the light down and a few minutes later it'll get brighter again. Nice.
The reliability has been great. I'm on my second one of these, having gotten one of the disc ones first, from a Sharper Image catalogue in the mid-1990s. It finally played out after about 8 years, and I replaced it with this model from Bio-Brite which I liked better only for cosmetic reasons, not because of any dissatisfaction with the first one's performance.
I truly depend on it, and when I moved 1200 miles in the late 1990s, this was one of the things that came with me in the car, instead of going on the moving van.
My only regret is that I didn't find it sooner in my working life, especially when I was working rotating shifts. Ugh. Now that I've had a job with "normal" (ha) hours for a few years, I still don't enjoy getting up at what feels like a wrong time for me, but I can and DO get up when I have to and it's not the miserable experience it used to be.
I STRONGLY recommend this product for anyone who has a hard time waking up to a noise alarm OR who would just rather not be jangled out of sleep OR who has to wake up at some time other than natural dawn OR has to get up at a time other than when their own internal clock would have them wake up...or all of those, like me. Yes, it costs more than a battery-operated clock from a discount store, but it does what it says it will do.
Can't function without it!!! September 16, 2005

I bought mine many years ago directly from Bio-Brite. It still functions beautifully, and the two times I had to send it in for service (knocked off the bedside table by my hateful cats) I received excellent customer service. I'm not a morning person, but this clock has made getting up at 5AM sooo much more pleasant. BioBrite truly cares about their products and their customers. A+ x a million!
Really Nice and Does A Lot of Things March 8, 2006

I had a Soleil Sunrise clock before this and it was just a night light. The BioBrite is a 60 watt bulb--a real light. I also love the other features:
* Dimmable bedside light for reading or soft lighting
* Security option so light comes on at random intervals from 4-11pm as if the house is occupied
* Nightlight option
* LCD display fades to low level when it is in night mode
I have the one with white noise and it is wonderful.
