Anyone got a Lumie active 250 body clock?

I got one yesterday and thought I had it all set up correctly, however, I has no sunrise this morning.

I did have a sunset last night, and for some reason the other didn’t work.

Any ideas?

We’ve had one for a while. They are good but a bit tricky to set up. I’d watch this video to check you set it up correctly.

I got one for Christmas. I'm a bit bemused as to what they are actually meant to do. Will it help my insomnia?

I got a Lumie, not sure which one as it's still in its box. Mine has a radio too apparently. I've wanted one for a while, so hope it's good or I'll be disappointed! 😆

I’m hoping it will help regulate my sleep pattern and my insomnia- and by not using my phone as an alarm clock I am hoping I will get better bedtime habits.

I love mine but they are quite clunky to set up.

You can set it to just have a sunset and not a sunrise so maybe you did this. If you press the two outside buttons (of the Three) then that turn on and off the sunset. It says sunset when it’s on.

Press them to switch the sunset off.
Then press and hold the middle one until the display changes,
Then you can scroll through all of then options you have set up.

If you press the button in the middle and a sun appears on the display, that is set for sunset then sunrise.
If you press the two outside buttons and it says sunset that’s sunset only.

You might have not set it at all last night in which case it would have not faded off but just switched itself off after an hour and a half I think it is.

That video explains it was me! I set up sunset only! Testing it again now

I got another of their models a few weeks back and it’s made a real difference to my sleep. I’d bought it mainly for sunrise but actually find the sunset the most use for sleep patterns. I’ve been so pleased my daughter asked for one for Christmas. I managed to get hers to do the sunset last night but her brothers was blazing away when I went to check on them.

I’m glad I helped!

I find i can’t rely on the sunrise alone, but the alarm on the Lumie is horrible! So I still set a phone alarm but I’m usually pretty much awake when it goes off, the light gently stirs me. Definitely helped me get up in the mornings!

ScreamingBadSanta · 26/12/2018 10:26

I got a Lumie 150. I'm going to set it up today. I'll come back to this thread tomorrow if it doesn't do what I expect.

Still cannot get mine to work at all

Haven't tried mine yet, really must get on with it!

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 05/01/2019 00:30

Looooooove mine, couldn't go back to a phone alarm now.

Agree about the sound of the alarm though- it's very jarring, it sounds like there's been a nuclear attack.

CormoranStrike · 05/01/2019 08:24

This morning I got birdsong. But no lamp.

It is infuriating

I am really struggling to set mine and to make sense of the sunset function. The alarm is horrible but waking up to the light is really nice.

moonfacebaby · 05/01/2019 09:55

I’ve got one. It’s unplugged, under my bedside table.

I got so frustrated by trying to change alarm times - it’s a pain in the arse!
