Up to 250 Lux Light Intensity for Both Natural Awakening and Easy Reading

Philips Wake-up Light HF3485 offers up to 250 Lux light intensity. Sensitivity to light differs a lot per person. In general, when using a higher light intensity a person needs less time to become fully awake. It has been clinically proven that you need up to 250 Lux to affect energy hormones in such a way that you wake up full of energy. The light intensity of the Wake-up Light can be set up to 250 Lux. This makes sure you can wake up to the light intensity that suits your personal preference best.

Light Positively Affects Energy Hormones

Research shows that light stimulates the senses, giving you more energy and helping you to feel less lethargic – that is why it is so much easier to rise during the summer months as opposed to the dark winter months. As the light falls on your eyes, a message is sent to your brain that positively affects the production of cortisol, the energy hormone. This means that at your required wake-up time your hormones are better balanced and you’ll feel more energetic right from the start of the day.
