Although it seems to be aimed at children this combined wake-up alarm clock, night light and Bluetooth speaker can be used by anyone.

The lamp arrived packaged in a simple but attractive display box without the expensive presentation of some high-end rivals. Inside was the lamp itself, a short USB power cable, and a User Guide. Build quality is excellent for the price and the lamp looks quite stylish and attractive without the flimsy feel of cheaper rivals. The User Guide is well written and easy to read and makes a pleasant change from the poorly printed manuals so often received.

The 440g clock is attractively and for once logically designed. On the front is the LED colour display surrounding the rectangular LED screen in the centre. This screen shows the current time, Battery level, Brightness, Bluetooth, Volume, AM/PM, and Alarm status of the clock. Below it is the combined Power On/Off and screen brightness button. Along the edge of the clock are buttons for Previous/Vol Down, Next/Vol Up, Snooze/Play/Pause/ Alarm on/off, Light Mode/Alarm Setting, Light On/Brightness/Bluetooth On/off. All the buttons are large, easy to find in the dark, have descriptive icons on them and are clearly explained in the user guide. On the rear is the micro-USB charging port.

The clock can be powered by the built-in 2000mAh Lithium rechargeable batteries or directly from any USB port. Depending on the usage and setting you should get around ten hours of use per charge and up to 160 hours on standby.

As an alarm clock, it works well and supports up to three separately configured alarms. You can be awoken by a mixture of subtle lighting and a choice of eight alert tones, all equally annoying. Press any button to snooze for ten minutes.

It also works as a night light with four stages of brightness and as a Bluetooth speaker. It has 8 lighting modes: blue, pink, red, yellow, three mixed colours and 1 breathing mode.

As a Bluetooth speaker, the sound quality is actually rather good, distinctly better than I expected, and there are a set of large and easy to find volume and track controls along the top to control the music. It uses Bluetooth 5 to connect and this up to date version offers a longer range with fewer dropouts than previous versions.

The build quality seems fine. The clock is heavier and more substantial than I was expecting and it does have rather a quality feel to it. It is an excellent piece of kit and the only thing lacking, for me anyway, is a remote control.

Priced at a penny under £40 this is not a cheap item, and there are many cheaper rivals out there, but this is a well made, easy to use, and well specified item and sometimes it is worth paying a bit more for the best.
