If I do not have a bedside table and instead place this alarm on the floor next to the outlet adjacent to my bed will the gradual light be effective?

Yes I use it every morning here in Alaska. I forget I'm here due to this light, it really simulate morning light.

My basic answer is how deeply do you sleep? The light is more of a soft "glow" than a "light" (and it's on the highest setting). I put the Wake-Up Light on the floor last night and only the side of the bedroom not blocked by furniture was lighter (makes sense).

I think if you put the light away from bed pointing at it it will work well. The light is adjustable and can be very bright. Hope this helps.

I think it could still be effective. If you have dark walls, furniture, and ceiling it might be less effective. I got this for my spouse and it is on her side of the bed and I don't have a direct line of sight to it, yet I notice the light. I got it to reduce her multiple snooze alarms. It has worked well for that.

Not in my experience. I rely on a floor lamp for my office desk light and i love it.

We have the fan about six feet from our bed at night and the light does not bother us. It's no brighter than an alarm clock

The light is focused, yet soft. I use it at my laptop. As a small spotlight at close distance I think it would work if the room is sufficiently dark. I'm trying to imagine how you are going to set it up. As a foot light aimed from the floor or an intervening table. In either case you should not expect good results in a bright room or from a distance. I guess I didn't answer, did I?

It might be, mine is in the kitchen w/a nightlight. It works great though. I have multiple things in my bedroom that have I indicator lights and I just put some dark nail polish on them, you can still see it glow but it is not bright enough to bother sleeping

It would depend on how close you had the receiver unit to the bedroom. Mine is in the living room and I sometimes here it when I am sleeping (when the snow plow guy comes). If it was in your bedroom it would wake you up with a pleasant DO DO DO DOOO. I have thought of adding a second or third reciever for our long ranch house. The only time we had false alarms was when we got a nest of ants in the sensor. I have recommended this unit to all my neighbors. We really do love it.

No not really,you just have to be careful in listening for it. The alarm is not "soft" but it isn't necessarily load either.

Personally I wouldn't recommand to set it on the floor as it might have some difficulties to receive the sound bit andto activate the light

When the magnet and contact are positioned together they make a normaly closed loop circuit. That is the way most alarm contacts work. This is opposite for what you are needing. Try mounting a normaly closed button switch to the back area of the closed drawer. This would push the switch button into an opened state. When you opened the drawer the button would be released allowing the switch contacts to return to their closed state and Allowing voltage to flow to your light

The unit does not have an outlet built in, so yes, you would occupy both plugs of the receptacle you are monitoring. This allows you to place the box further away from the outlet to a location more convenient to hearing the alarm go off. While the alarm is pretty loud, I can't hear it up in my bedroom and the unit is in my garage.

I've used the alarm a few times and as far as I can recall it acted like a normal alarm. I don't remember a gradual increase or decrease. Most of the time I have my iphone plugged into it and use the iphone alarm function. The sound comes through the iHome's speakers.

Yes. Any movement will trigger it, but the light will not stay on very long.

No this will not sound alarm if bulb burns out. This is monitoring the incoming voltage & sounds alarm when power is lost.

Without knowing how much room and depth you have to place the light, yes, the light will light it up; no sweat. You'll have to play the "light placement" game. Hope it works out.

not sure about laying it on a table, I am pretty sure it would work, the little motion sensor is pretty sensitive. If you had too you could tape or Velcro it to the front or side of the bedside table.

Probably... I guess it depend on how soundly you sleep & where the receiver is. Ours is in the kitchen and we can hear it in the bedroom upstairs about 40 feet away...and it will wake us. If you're worried about missing the alarm, why not purchase a second receiver for the bedroom... I have one in my unattached garage workshop so I know if someone is entering the property..

Yes, the bed alarm goes off quickly. It would go off in my room, I would get up & go to my mother's room and be there just as she was sitting up. That way I could help her out of bed to use her bedside commode. I didn't have to worry about her falling in the middle of the night, and she never could understand how I knew she needed help!
