does this give off a red (radiant) light when operating? want to use it in the bedroom -husband is a fussy sleeper. A light coming on will wake him.

It's completely dark. No glowing. The only light emitted is from a digital display.

There is a faint red glow visible when looking into the end of the IR illuminator when it is switched on. You can't see it from very far away though.

It isn't as bright as i would like it to be. It also requires a certain kind of bulb that doesn't give off a lot of light. It also depends on how big the room is. Hope this helps!

It depends on what brightness setting you use, there are 20 different settings. It also depends on how dark you keep your bedroom. In my experience, settings anywhere from 15 to 20 will light up the room pretty well. Depending on how light a sleeper he is, or how affected he is by light you can adjust it to only light up to a very dim level...whether that will wake you up or not is a different question. Mine doesn't usually wake up my wife. Also, once the light goes on, you can turn it off and the alarm sound will continue, you can still snooze the sound (the light is not affected by snooze). The alarm sound doesn't go off until you hit the alarm button again (which resets it for the next morning)

The light will go on all at once instead of gradually, but that can work fine for some people. I've read accounts on the Web of people doing just that. They used a desk lamp positioned directly over them in bed. It's definitely worth a try! Even if it doesn't wake you as gently as a sunrise simulator, it might still be an improvement over your current method. It's also less likely to unintentionally wake your sleeping partner than a sound alarm. Another less expensive option is the Lighten Up model 212 http://windhovermfg.com/model/205 . It goes in between the timer and your own lamp, and what it does is gradually brighten the lamp for 30 minutes. It recommends a digital timer because they are silent, but I confirmed with them that a mechanical timer would work fine too, if the sound of the timer clicking on doesn't bother you.

Yes, the light needs to be brighter. Maybe 2 bulbs instead of 1. It does not light our small kitchen.

No, the light , to me, has a nice, warm glow. Before the alarm goes off the light starts to glow and gets brighter just like daylight. I really like it.

Yes, the switch glows (probably an LED) when it is OFF so you can find it in the dark. Not very bright but not sure how to quantify that. Bright enough to help you find the switch but not so bright that it would bother me in my bedroom.

Yes, quite a bit of red depending on which way you turn the lamp. I love mine!

Yes, it blinks dimmer when in sleep mode. If you press a button, it will wake up and all the lights will come on.

I have mine in my bedroom, and it does leak out light. It's not a shining light or bright light the displays on other air purifiers I have. Depending on the angle you look at it, you can see a couple thin strips of light and then a light orange light from the operation level (low, high, auto) button. All-in-all, the lights that show are very, very dim.

It does not get bright instantly. It takes a few seconds to get to full brightness. This doesn't bother me, but others in my family find it a little annoying. I also find that the bulbs make a faint high pitched humming sound, but no one else at home has noticed it.

The lighting is not really bright. We put it in a big bedroom so we had other light sources. Our main reason for purchasing this item was for the heater. Our room has no heat and figured this was a great option. We love it!

No, a red light flash when it is activated or when you enter the room to let you know to disable it before it alarms.

When the unit is on, there is a small green light that glows (and guides me back to where the bed is when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night!) - you could probably put a small piece of gaffer's tape or electrical tape over it if it bothers you. Although I am usually quite sensitive to lights in the bedroom, this one doesn't bother me. I keep the unit on my tile floor near the bed so the light is quite low down. If the unit runs out of water the light becomes red. I find the unit quite effective even on low or medium, so it would only run out of water overnight if it started out with a low amount of water.

I only use when I'm awake in a lit room. I think they caution about sleeping with it, so that may be why there is no light. But obviously you're awake if you want to change the control, so turn on the light or use a flashlight? Also one reviewer said it doesn't beep when it turns off. My pad does - it is very faint, though.

My unit is not in the bedroom so I don't really know if there is an emission of light at night. However, I can't imagin any source of light other than the little indicator lights for fan speed and desired level of humidity.
