On my first morning using the Philips Hue Go Portable Lamp, I was more aware of it. Luckily, you can easily program several timers on this smart light and then reuse them as needed. I have to wake up at different times in the mornings, depending on whether I’m going into the office, working from home, or having a lie-in on the weekends. I ended up relying on this setting as much as the Wake Up function, but the latter was definitely the game-changer. And it wasn’t a case of suddenly being subjected to darkness, and second-guessing if I was ready to sleep yet. While it did help prepare me for sleep, I felt content knowing that I didn’t have to reach over and flick off the light switch once I started feeling drowsy. I found this much more comforting than I expected. I tried out the Go to sleep function on the first night, and set it to fade over 20 minutes. Although there is a button on the base of the light which can let you cycle through several basic colors too.
Controlling the lamp via my phone felt convenient and simple. I ended up trying out a different one every night to suit my mood, which became a fun routine in itself. I was genuinely impressed by the huge range of preset scenes as well. Having said that, it was surprisingly bright when I first tried it out, so much so that it outshone my standard bedside lamp. Keep in mind that the battery soon runs out even if it’s fully charged as well - two and a half hours might not even outlast a movie. Although, it does need to stay plugged in while the Wake up settings are in use, which is somewhat disappointing. The Philips Hue Go Portable Light doesn’t require access to a plug at all times either, which makes it maneuverable and versatile. On the whole, it looked good on display next to my bed. Despite its small stature, it still weighs a decent 1.4 pounds, which I quite liked as this gave it a sturdy feel. The Hatch Restore Alarm Clock ( $129.99, Amazon), measures 7.5 x 5.75 inches by comparison. It measures just 3.1 x 5.9 inches, meaning you can fit it in the palm of your hands. What difference did it make to my mornings and evenings?įirst, I was pleasantly surprised by the footprint of this smart light.
