Philips Wake Up The Town -- Arctic Experiment. In Philips Wake Up The Town we see what happens when an Arctic town that lives 4 months without sunlight is given the Philips Wake-up Light. Watch the folks of Longyearbyen, Svalbard, as they test the effect of waking up to light through the extreme darkness of Polar Night. Will the Philips Wake-up Light work? And can Philips wake up the town? Amazing film by Doug Pray, director of highly acclaimed 'Art & Copy' and 'Surfwise'.

  • Were I live the sun raises around 12 and goes down around 15 so it's dark when you wake up, then you see some light when you'r at work and then it's dark when you get home so I would also like to try this light, it sounds like a great idea.

  • @Dead1337Head  yeah. its dark 24/7 all winter long and then the sun it up 24/7 all summer long.

  • @Dead1337Head YES. but not 24/7/365 :) more like 24/7/132 :P

  • That is nothing new.....lol

  • I need a powerful alarm to wake up; not a tubelight.

  • @Dead1337Head half year dark, half year sun. in the north side of the world and in the south.

  • @kandycakeTV Svaldbar is not IN norway....

  • with lambs or not, that sure looks depressing.

  • @kandycakeTV

  • Svalbard is in norway XD I live there :)
