It works, but not quiet.,
By Dusty Trails "still rockin' @55" (Payson AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WALL CLOCK WITH LIGHT SENSOR 12"
I'm a two week owner of this Chinese import. The clock mechanism is the same one you see at any craft store. One AA battery will last about 2 years in a temperate environment [opinion from my previous clocks]. It runs a tick-tock second hand. Desert heat will kill clock mechanism less than a year, I wouldn't expect long life from this clock in an outdoor setting. 3 AA batteries run 4 LED lights. I can't estimate battery life, I am hoping for a year, at 8 hours of illumination a night. LEDs should last 30 years. The light sensor for my clock comes on just after dusk, which is fine for me. The light from a computer screen at 6' is enough to shut it the green lights off, so it is very sensitive. It makes an excellent whole room night light for my game room/den. In short it is as advertised.What I didn't like: 1. It is not a silent clock. The tick-tock hand keeps me from staying asleep. If you can't take the ticking DON"T expect to use it in a sleep setting. 2. No customer service. I asked about the silent nature of this clock and got no reply. Took a chance and ordered. 3. The hour and minutes hands are difficult to discern at night. The slim, stylish hands become indistinct in the green light at 10 foot distance [60 y.o. eyes]

The best backlit wall clock I could find,
By JimH (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WALL CLOCK WITH LIGHT SENSOR 12"
Back in the olden days (when i was growing up) wall clocks plugged in to the wall and they were lit so you could see them in the dark. I had been searching for such a backlit wall clock for months. I presume that these are hard to find because all clocks seem to be battery powered now and the light probably uses up the batteries too fast. This clock is backlit and is equiped with a sensor that turns the light on and off (sort of like a dimmer switch - it is not necessarily all the way ON or OFF). It works with one caveat - the room has to be almost pitch black before the sensor will turn on the light. Mine is in the kitchen and there is enough dim light coming from other sources that the light doesn't turn on. That said, because it has a light face with dark hands I can tell the time even when the kitchen is "dark" (unlike my old digital clock which was impossible to see). I also had to adjust the hands when the clock arrived because at 10:30 the hour hand was pointing at 10:45. This was accomplished by removing the clear front over and setting the hands correctly.

Fantastic Clock,

This review is from: WALL CLOCK WITH LIGHT SENSOR 12"
I've had this clock now for several weeks and it is great. Shines a nice green which allows the clock to be seen easily in the dark but is not so bright to light up the room. Perfect.
