If you don't mind waiting until December.
great.. something I've never heard off before that I must now have thanks to OB…
edit:
found there's a more expensive model.
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-HF3520-Wake-Up-Colored-Simulat…better finish and a "sleep in" mode
They're the greatest invention ever if you need to wake up before the sun is out.
Fml .. just bought the HF3520 through Amazon a couple weeks ago for $100 more
this is a 3510, yours is still $176
thanks to this, i'm also looking at the Philips Living Colors.. interesting stuff
or you could get a $10 desk lamp with a $5 timer…
Do you also think a Nokia 6610 has the same capabilities as an iPhone?
They both make phone calls.
If only iPhone has a snake game. You can't beat Nokia keypad for that :D
I have a desk lamp hooked up to a timer. I'm still thinking of getting this.
Only uses 16 Watts, and it uses led technology rather than previous models that used 100 watt lamps.
Looks interesting………i got charged $81.84
change it to USD before checkout :P
I think it would come with a 110v tranformer, you will need to buy a Australian transformer for it. It doesnt say how many volts the input is but I would guess 12v?
Never seen them before but I would like one in the future, Ill have to pass on this one though.
yeah I held back cos thinking this too. checking the photos it says 24V input from the adapter, doesn't look like it takes batteries either.
its 220v compatible , google the manual

Really.. a wake up light? such a gimmick.
OOoooooo Devils !
Is this 110/240V compatible? Or does it require a transformer as ezarc questions?
Power: 16.5 W
Power Output Adapter: 12W
Voltage: 100/240 Vhttp://www.usa.philips.com/c/light-therapy/sunrise-simulatio…
Sometimes manufacturers don't specify that the voltages listed on their website are covered by 2 different models of the item (for different regions) rather than world voltage in just the one model.
They just offer 'generic' specs.
I don't know what the case is here.English, page 7:
Warning
-
Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before
you connect the appliance.
-
The appliance is suitable for mains voltages of 230V and frequencies of 50Hz
This would seem to indicate no world voltage capability and different models (adaptors) for different regions, with the USA one being 110V.
You could always try amazon.co.uk or amazon.de for a version that would just need a travel adaptor to work here.
Don't show me things like this OzBargain!! As someone said above, I didn't know these things even existed but now I want one… badly!
Just can't justify that price… Even on special.
Here's an anwer on amazon page

“Please confirm the Philips HF3510 voltage is 100/240V and frequency is 50/60Hz”

I just unplugged my clock and looked at the sticker on it and yes that's what it says.I bought one of the HF3470 a while back but from UK Amazon due to the 50hz/60Hz issue, interesting to know if anyone else is ok with the 60Hz model in Australia? I read conflicting accounts that there'd be issues with time accuracy.
US power is 50HZ which is a real issue in a clock if you were going to use it in Australia. 60HZ here would make it go 20% faster. Might be better to buy locally and have a clock with the correct time.
Um, Australia is 50Hz. I very much doubt that timing could drift due to AC frequency, I remember from Uni days that supply frequency can vary by a few Hz or more, depends on how hard the generator is working (or something like that). These things would have crystals to keep accurate time.
This clock doesn't run directly off mains voltage, it uses 24V DC.
By extension, that means that even if the plugpack that comes with the clock is incompatible (unlikely, most AC-DC plugpacks are worldwide voltage compatible these days), you could just grab one off eBay for a few bucks.
I have the next version up HP3520 which I bought from Amazon US and my plug reads:
Input 100-240V / 50/60Hz / 16.5W / Output 24V 12WI'm just using a $2 adapter. Am I doing it wrong?
how do u find it
I've been using the BioBrite Sunrise Wake Up Light for a few years and only couple of weeks ago upgraded and bought the Philips. Philips one looks a lot nicer and does have better features. But these wake-up lights are awesome. At this price you should jump at it. If you don't like it, you can sell it on eBay Australia for double the price because they are not available here.
I know its a way off for most people but some of the "Smart Lights" coming on the market (see Phillps Hue http://www.meethue.com/ , LifX http://lifx.co/) promise this sort of capability in a sense [programmable lighting] - the bulbs should be cheaper then this, and would fit in your exitsing setup and possibly light your space better(as in in your roof socket or bedside lamp).
Just something to consider.
Just spoke to a very helpful woman from Philips Lighting Australia. She said DO NOT BUY these products from America because of the difference in voltage, the products lifespan will be drastically reduced. If anything she recommended buying from the UK instead. You've been warned ;)
I really dont understand how that could be- the transformer is convert 100/240Vs to 24V DC. - the UK one would do exactly the same thing. I predict she is just using the 'company line' of USA is a different voltage to AU/UK.
-pretty mcuh you'll need a plug converter, with any circumstance though
Light in SEQ at 04.45 (December)thats enough light…
:)
