14 DAY TRIAL // We're pretty sure that quite a lot of serious 'Twilight' fans would be interested in getting something that reminds them of their beloved character, Edward Cullen, to watch over them while they sleep (other than a life-size cardboard cutout, of course), and while the PURE Twilight doesn't really have anything do with the aforementioned franchise, it can nevertheless watch over one's sleep and help them wake up in a relative gentle manner.
The PURE Twilight is touted by the manufacturer, the PURE company, as the world's first combined dawn simulator lamp and digital radio (OK, we're not sure that Edward will like the dawn, after all, since he'll go all sparkling when the sun rises) that brings together the best in light therapy and the choice and ease-of-use of digital radio to deliver the "ultimate bedside experience".
The Twilight comes with four sophisticated yet simple to use independent alarm settings, giving the user the choice of waking to a tone, digital radio, FM, or special alarm tones including ‘church bell' and ‘cockerel'; or natural sounds including ‘wind chimes', ‘dawn chorus' and ‘cicadas'.
All of these alarm sounds can be accompanied by dawn simulation which allows the user to wake up naturally from light on a timer that increases gradually to mimic the rising sun before the user's chosen alarm is activated.
Furthermore, the Twilight has a whole host of features to aid a good night sleep, since babies and young children can drift off to sleep listening to lullabies such as ‘twinkle, twinkle, little star', ‘rock-a-bye baby' or ‘Brahm's lullaby' and a nightlight can be set to any colour or brightness.
It is also possible to go to sleep listening to a relaxing natural sound and a mood light setting can be selected to accompany the sounds with the light dimming gradually, helping the user to easily drift off to sleep.
Adults can use Twilight as a reading light or simply relax with its numerous mood light settings, a combination of mood lighting and natural sounds, or of course a favourite radio station.
PURE's Twilight also includes PowerPort, a feature on the majority of PURE's bedside radios, which provides power for USB accessories such as mobile phone chargers, reading lights and bedside fans and solves the problem of having insufficient power points next to the bed.
Other features include digital and FM radio, an auxiliary input for an iPod or MP3 player, large LCD display with autodimming, ultra bright and efficient LED lights with the equivalent brightness of a 45W bulb and touch sensitive controls.
The Pure Twilight is available as we speak for around 130 pounds sterling (the equivalent of $205), which is a pretty OK price to pay for this thing, all things considered.
