and when you turn bac on it tunes itsef to last lisened station + gives option on back light timeout great product.
from www.amazon.com
3) the light on the clock is too bright and should have a dimmer.
from www.amazon.com
only complaint is that the light is very bright, although you can turn it off completely when the stations is locked in
from @man, www.newegg.com
the light, while obnoxiously bright, is controllable by a button on the remote, so you can use it as a remote control nightlight.
from www.amazon.com
it could be better, but look at what you paid for the device and lighten up!

Midland WR-300

$55.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this makes it way too much light for a bed-side clock radio so i have to leave the backlight off because that's where i keep it.
from www.amazon.com
radio is sold in "accessibility catalogs" because of the alerting connectivity to accessories to make it more accessible for deaf/hard of hearing (vibrating bed shakers and flashing lights, etc.).
from www.amazon.com
it has the option of just having the radio come on instead of the alarm, and also shows a red warning light when there is an alert.
from www.amazon.com
it is impossible to see the time at night, or from the slightest distance, whether or not the back light is on.
from www.amazon.com
it's obnoxious enough to wake you up if something serious is going on, everything else you'll see it light up only.

Sony ICF-C218

$18.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
but here's an idea: set it before you turn off the lights.
from www.amazon.com
we use hers as a guest clock sometimes and many guests have been woken up very early because the alarm switch says off, but the light says on.
from www.amazon.com
my daughter even wanted one to take off to college with her because of the size, radio and dim light at night.
from www.amazon.com
i needed a clock radio with big numbers and a bright enough light.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this because i hate turning on the lights just to look at my wall clock in the middle of the night.

Oregon Scientific RM313PNA

$27.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the best part of this clock is that it projects the time without lighting up the entire room.
from www.amazon.com
the light is soft and red and dim enough that it does not light up the whole room.
from www.amazon.com
it projects the time on the ceiling - it's a very non-avasive light projected on the ceiling.
from www.amazon.com
some reviews have said it makes a buzzing noise when you put the light on; it does, but it's not overwhelming.
from www.amazon.com
he uses it alot and the light shines great and can be seen easily on the ceiling.

Emerson CKS3020

from www.amazon.com
found out about emerson from boyfriend - it has a special feature which turns off the display until you wave a hand in front of it - absolutely no ambient alarm clock light!i love the fact that it
from www.amazon.com
the clock lights up only when you set off a sensor such as waving your hand near the face.
from www.amazon.com
another improvement is that the display spells out what day of the week it is instead of having a little light glow underneath the word.
from www.amazon.com
as i am - is a significant problem: i don't like having to make it a major production to find my glasses in the dark (or turn on the light and then hunt for them) just to figure out the time.
from www.amazon.com
it also has a timed display off feature for if you don't want to sleep with any lights and come back on with a wave of your hand.

Sangean WR-2

$159.00 Est. at Amazon

from Michael from Las Vegas NV, clickfrom.buy.com
easy to set up instructions helped me out alot, backlit lighting has 3 levels of light faint blue very easy on the eyes, power button brighter blue easy to see at night.
from www.amazon.com
everyone has commented on the bright light, so i will say i agree, even the lowest level is too bright for a bedroom alarm clock radio--happily it is in my study-i still keep it off.
from www.amazon.com
the numbers on the display can't be easily read in the dark unless the brightness level is on medium or high, but when the brightness is up that much, there's too much light eminating from the unit
from www.amazon.com
we got rid of the old radio because the light kept us awake!
from www.amazon.com
great sound, easy to use in the dark, even though it has a dimming light.

Sony ICFC180

$31.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.abt.com
the only reason it gets four instead of five stars is that like several other people, i find the light a little bright, even on the dim setting.
from "zonlaw", www.abt.com
the only disadvantage is that the clock does not fully dim and does add quite a bit of light to the room if that bothers you.
from "vpoet", www.abt.com
the alarm is rather good, with radio & melody, but the beep alarm setting is rather low, and would probably only rouse the lightest sleepers.[...]
from www.abt.com
very easy to set up, the dual alarm and the day light savings functions are very usefull.
from www.abt.com
seeing the time is a lot more reliable than a little dot light which might be the alarm, might be the pm indicator.

from "Salgal", www.abt.com
the only thing we've noticed is that we have under counter lighting and if we're listening to the radio and the lighting is turned on there is a small amount of static.
from www.bestbuy.com
i also have enjoyed the brightness feature of the clock; some clocks have such a bright light that is a bother when trying to sleep.
from www.amazon.com
he is able to hold this radio easily as it is small and lightweight while still getting great reception.
from www.amazon.com
this is a great clock; it's very easy to program, small enough for my small night table, has a display intensity setting (great if the light bothers you while you sleep)...
from www.amazon.com
the clock would not light up during the day, but would stay lit in the evening.

it's a great little alarm clock, with a cute little night light in the shape of a lemon wedge.
from Mrs. B "Shopaholic", www.target.com
the night light is not too bright that it will keep your child up all night.
from www.amazon.com
however, since most clocks don't even have lights at all, i don't consider it a significant drawback.
from www.amazon.com
light is wonderful.

i leave the music on all nite while she sleeps and the nite light helps keep away the "boogyman".

from www.amazon.com
it has one of my favorite features ever on a clock and that is the ability to turn the display light intensity down and even off.
from www.amazon.com
when the kitchen light is on or it is during the day the display was not as visible as our other clock radio.
from www.amazon.com
the ability to easily dim the light and turn it off is terrific.
from www.amazon.com
you can change the display light from bright to "no" light (so it will not bother you if you can't sleep with light on).
from www.amazon.com
only thing is clock light is very bright for bedroom.

i do like that when the radio comes on in the morning, it also turns up the light a bit.
from www.amazon.com
this is a highly important feature of a radio alarm clock since most people will have it on their nightstand and don't want a bright light keeping them awake.
from www.amazon.com
i purchased this clock radio because i was looking for a clock radio that had a good radio and that did not require to be adjusted for day light saving (my current clock radio needs to be adjusted 4
from www.amazon.com
it will dim down to nearly off which is nice if you are sensitive to light while trying to sleep.
from www.amazon.com
they allow for a wider range of choices than some other radios, e.g., being able to completely extinguish the lighted display on the face of the unit during bedtime listening periods.

Seiko QHR016SLH

i like it because it emits no light at night and if i want to see the time i can push a button and it illuminates for 4 seconds and then shuts off.
from www.amazon.com
large, clear display of time, smaller but easily readable day, date, and temperature (c or f); includes back-light button.
from www.amazon.com

Sony ICF-C318 AM/FM

$22.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
two alarm times can be set simultaneously, it's not too bright, and its very light (in weight).
from www.amazon.com
i'm a light sleeper and like the room to be as devoid of light as possible, and this clock casts merely a light glow and does not disturb me whatsoever.
from www.amazon.com
on full bright, it's perfectly easy to see during the day or with the lights on.
from www.amazon.com
not the most user-friendly, since it's hard to manipulate, very light, and filled with buttons, which can be a challenge when you're half asleep.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted a simple clock radio to replace my simple sony clock radio, which unfortunately got "fried" during a lightning storm.

the clock light is very bright but you can turn it off.
from www.amazon.com
i can turn the back light off if i so desire and really my other alarm clock was just slightly dimmer on it's dimmest setting than this one.
from www.amazon.com
the dimmer (light by the time) is kind of obnoxious like the previous reviewer states, however, i have found that if i turn it off, i can get total darkness.
from www.amazon.com
i also love the clock/night light feature, it has settings for off, low and high, and on the low setting its perfect for being able to see my little one in the middle of the night without turning any
from www.amazon.com
glad i waited for amazon to have a great price as a lightening deal....great value for the quality.

from Tom from Farmington Hills, Michigan, www.circuitcity.com
the only feature i wishthe clock radio had was a sensor to dim the digital clock at night, although the digital clock does have three brightness settings to dim the light manually.
from Mi Hung from Tempe, AZ, www.circuitcity.com
like everything else it has its flaws which i've yet to figure out (namely, the blue light running while power is on, while trying to sleep at night).
from www.amazon.com
- have the possibility of letting the clock light as light as it is when it's only operated by back-up batteries (there are 3 light options when plugged, but event the darkest is lighter then only
from www.amazon.com
also, the light on the cd window was too bright even at the dimmest setting, so i covered it with a small piece of auto windshield tint so it doesn't wake me at night.
from www.amazon.com
however, there is a window on the cd player (so you can see it spinning, i guess) that also has a light.

the clock lights are also on a dimmer.
from www.amazon.com
the display is low-light so it doesn't disturb your sleep, there's 2 alarms, and we like how the buzzer starts out soft so you aren't startled awake.
from www.amazon.com
the alarm also starts quietly for the light sleepers, and gets plenty loud to wake me up after a little bit.

* large numbers readable from the other side of the bed without lighting up the room.

one of which is that if you are listening to the radio just before your alarm goes off and you have the back light turned off, the light goes on just before the alarm sounds and the radio turns off.
from www.amazon.com
first, yes the display is lcd and you need to be close to read it, or have the light on and be fairly straight on.
from www.amazon.com
if they had a better (wide viewing angle) lcd coupled with two separate led back-lights (e.g., bright green for day and dim red for night), it would be a market leader.

there is a button you can push to illuminate the display -- i would have liked to be able to have multiple brightness settings on this light, though.
