Bases become faulty
Loved these lights in the beginning but the base slowly breaks down in the year so that the pins don’t touch the lights and thus cannot charge and after warranty Casper does nothing, even though the product is faulty. It doesn’t make sense to buy new ones when they will do the same.
On maintenance?
I love my Casper glow and use it everyday. I noticed there’s a bug with editing the wake up settings. Sometimes a saved wake up setting will disappear and then re-appear in the list. Other times it has the wrong device listed. There also hasn’t been any new features developed since we got this a few years back. I would like to be able to set the maximum light strength on wake ups for example. Starting to wonder if they’ve left it on “keep the lights on” mode which means no active development and very little resource to fix bugs, hope that isn’t the case because I love these lights.

Really like the light, but
It would be great if the app showed how much charge is left in the light. The light really helps me fall asleep, sleep, and wake up better. I was always falling asleep with a light on and getting poor quality sleep as a result. I do not leave the light on the base, and too often don’t realize the charge has run down. Would love to see this feature in the app.

Could use more features
I love the light and how I can set it but I hate that the app is lacking in a lot of features
1) it won’t let you delete wake ups, or at least this is not easy to find
2) you can’t set how long it takes to turn on, it will only start turning on 30 minutes before and I wish this could be more adjustable.
3) you can’t adjust how long it stays on other than 5-30 minutes. I want the light to stay on until I turn it off or probably an hour.
3.1) same for the dim down that there isn’t a time adjustable option
4) I wish you would be able to adjust the brightness more, since it starts the wake up pretty dim but you can’t set the brightness to that dimness.
4.1) I wish the brightness at the end of the wake up was also adjustable
5) the amount of set days to wake up is limited, this may be on the product itself vs the app but I tried to make more to combat that the time is limited.

No way to set a schedule for evening
Love the look of the light itself, but the app continues to lack features that would actually make the light useful at times other than waking up. Please consider allowing the lights to turn on at full brightness and dim over time after lingering an adjustable amount of time on a schedule so we don’t have to consciously remember to turn the light on when winding down for the night. That would definitely help increase Accessibility issues for neurodiverse people.

Please add shortcuts support
Currently works as a dumb light as there’s no way to trigger with siri or shortcuts.
Had several issues since purchasing them two years ago
I had first purchased one two years ago and there are occasional command issues same with the second purchase a year after same issue. I pair the two and very often one would stop syncin in the near end of a fading cycle. It would really annoy us because we would have to get up and turn it off completely because it would not listen to our blue tooth app. We repaired many times and issue is exactly the same.

It’s great
I do like waking up to the glow of this light.
Being able to turn it on from the app is good BUT I wish i could also adjust the brightness level from the app instead of only being able to do that on the devise itself.

Should allow wake up time in relation to sunrise
I like to wake up with sunrise and would love if this would allow me to set a time restive to the sunrise time (e.g. peak the light 5 min after sunrise). Now I need to manually readjust every couple weeks :(
Lights are great, app is not
I am a huge fan of these lamps and have convinced many people to buy them. They kept me out of the dark when we lost power (Texas!) on/off for a week. I was never in total darkness… plus the night light and wake up features are great!
The app is kind of hard to use and not intuitive, though! For example - I can’t figure out how to use the app to turn off a light that’s on! That’s like - a pretty basic feature. I know Casper is very into naturally dimming over time but sometimes you just want to turn it off!
