Is it safe to use and keep close to bed and doesn't cause harmful radiation or magnetic field?

It produces less harmful radiation than the sun that it is trying to mimic, so you should weigh your available wakeup options carefully.

Magnetic field strength declines in an inverse square to distance, so if you keep it on the other side of the room, you won't get brain cancer. That said, I'm not certain it would matter.

It is a light bulb, the only perceived issue would be with the radio in the alarm options, but if radio waves are an issue u don't have to turn it onI love my alarm and wake up to the sounds of birds from the sound options and go to sleep to the softening of the light beside my bed

This pdf seems to answer your question. Seems like the lamp uses a halogen lamp? http://www.public.health.wa.gov.au/cproot/1391/2/Ultraviolet_Radiation_from_Quartz_Halogen_Light_Sources.pdf

Through lenz's law, every electrical device with a changing electric flux causes a magnetic field, so yes, this causes a magnetic field. If you prefer to live your life magnetic field free, Earth is not the right planet for you :(.

It does produce harmful radiation. Wearing a tin foil night cap will prevent radiation burns, and protect you from government mind scanners.

Yes, very safe. I had a50th birthday party and left it unattended for an hour or so. Very please with this product

Yes, remove the plastic bag. Place the unit as far away as possible from any other electronic devices. The directions say it won't harm them, but that is not true. My computer mother board and transformer blew out from a power surge from the device, and Wein reimbursed me for the damage. If you touch the transmitter, you will get a shock of static electricity, not dangerous, but a bit painful. Expect the unit to attract dust from the room, and wipe it off the unit and the walls nearby. This is a powerful device, and I would not put it too close to where you sleep. Hope this helps.

I believe it's safe for every night use. We kept our son in a crib until he was almost 4 years old for safety reasons, he was a crazy active sleeper. It's been about a year, he's almost 5 & has not fallen out of bed, yet. I do check on him before I go to bed & often move him back up to his pillows because he finds his way to the only unsafe spot without bumpers, the foot of the bed. We had a typical bed rail on our 3 year old daughter's bed & I ended up switching that out with these foam bumpers because they were working well with our boy, changing sheets are SO much easier, & they look better than the clunky bed rail.

@Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics. Personally I believe that the magnets in this product are not strong enough to cause damage to most modern electrical devices. Plasma, LED, and LCD computers, TVs, phones etc do not suffer from the same issues that the older "big" TVs used to (they are "solid-state"). However, you might want to exercise a bit of caution by not placing the entire box of tiles on top of a computer hard drive. Hard drives can be damaged by magnetic fields. @Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics.

Interesting Question - that's why I bought the one I have. I was very surprised at the results. I have stood under high tension transmission lines and utility poles with a transformer and they are high enough to pose little problem. Some of the highest reading I encountered was the motor on my high efficiency water heater motor, computer scanner and printer power supplies, a bedroom alarm clock - but you virtually have to be hugging them - if you are a foot or two away, the levels are not dangerous. I believe getting a good unit is worthwhile, just to prove what is safe to yourself. I haven't encountered anything dangerous in my normal surroundings and activities and feel safe. Not to say there is nothing out there - need to avoid MRI, etc. Measure at a source and then a foot or so away. Good Luck - I encourage you to get one - you'll feel better knowing. Ron

The best safety feature this product has is the very weak power output. Since the output is well under the pain threshold of the average person, there is no need for any kind of safety. The noise might startle you, but there is no danger.

If you meant is the mosquito repellent aroma generally safe around children, then I believe the answer is Yes, it is safe. But if you're worried about a child plucking this device out of the wall socket, then this is definitely a danger.

No unfortunately it is on all the time. I keep one in the children's room, and one in the bathroom as a night light. After awhile you don't even notice it during the day anymore. It doesn't get hot and doesn't smell like the other plug ins do so I think it's pretty safe. Also doesn't use very much energy.

Not really, since blankets, sheets and most of what is in a house are flammable. If you are a smoker, don't smoke in bed.

I'd say you would be okay if you keep it at the highest setting. Otherwise, might not be exactly toasty in the whole room in chilly MN weather (as a native Minnesotan, I feel your pain). I use it under my desk at work and it is perfect for that small space. If you just run it right next to you while watching tv, it'll be plenty warm enough, I think.

I do not know scientifically, but I keep our base unplugged unless it is in use. E.g. Plug in, lift head of bed, unplug. This may not make any difference to our health, but it makes me "feel" healthier. �

Yes; it's one of the safest heater you will ever buy. I use it overnight every night.

It's better than nothing. I can feel the difference in my bedroom when I get up in the morning with it turned on whole night. Not sure if it is safe used in a wet environment.

Seems safe to me. Ran two all winter. Girlfriend has one as well. Nice for keeping colder rooms up to temp.
