Best Sangean Clock Radios for Backlight

this is a nifty clock but it is useless as a bedside or nighttime clock.

it illuminates the whole bedroom in a blue glow.

i place the clock 7 feet away from the head of the bed on top of a 4-foot drawer stand and i cannot see the digital time of the clock.

i'm thinking of writing my own understandable instructions to keep on the bedside table since this is so counterintuitive as to be nearly unusable.

your nightstand or shelf must be lower than your bed (line of sight) or it's unreadbable.

this did not work and would have been unsatisfactory anyway since i bought this as a bedroom alarm clock.

not a good first impression in a guest bedroom.the second problem is the limited and/or undocumented power failure backup.

i spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect alarm clock for my bedroom and, as you can tell, i am still looking.
