Chosen Solution
The worst “feature” of this wake-up light is the inability to turn off the alarm and just use the device as a wake-up light. There doesn’t seem to be any videos online that provide clear instructions on how to disable the alarm. One forum suggested drilling a hole through the piezo speaker - if you can find it and avoid damaging the circuit board, which I think I might do. Is there a better way to go about doing this?
Kevin Kramer check on here. Royal PITA but possible. Use an old credit card instead of a screw driver to open it up. Unsolder the speaker or develop a turn off circuit ;-)
