Almost returned the clock because the light was way too bright

However, the digital display is NOT amber but the very bright maximum light.

As mentioned above, the light will also slowly dim to your selected setting

If I dim the light back down it will flicker and not stay set.

light dimming knob worthless, I am in AZ where there is no daylight savings

The analog clock face appears larger than picture and is well lit and very easy to see/read.

The adjustable dial light makes a great night light

Too bad they don't have the same light for the nap button, but I'm not too torn up about that.4

The worst thing is the extremely bright back lighting

The back light is infinitely adjustable

Light is a little too bright even when dimmed, but we either turn it off or put something in front of it.

My wife hates bright lights in the bedroom; this dims down to nothing, if you like.

it's little Humane waking light system and gently starts beeping, if you lay there too long or don't hit snooze it'll get louder and louder until you finally wake up

The clock face is useless unless illuminated, but even with the dimming option turned low, the light is rather sharp.

The fully adjustable light is also very nice

However, the clock's face is attractive and is actually fun to watch when lit, and I've gotten used to regarding its soothing glow as my "night light."The humane waking system is a welcomed feature, as the wake-up volume slowly increases and doesn't "jolt you awake

It replaces one I have owned for years, I cannot dim down the light on the old

The brightness setting dial on the bottom of the unit will brighten the light but not reduce the brightness lower than the abnormally bright level

There are a few odd things about setting up the clock that are not obvious - like the very strong light of the dial face that many complain about.

From the first night I used it, I slept very soundly, because it was the first time in years that I didn't feel like a light was shining in my face (from my previous clock)

My favorite things: having 4 alarms (2 radio and 2 buzz), I can set alarms for different days of the week, automatic time set and radio set, the face lights up when the alarm sounds, I can adjust the light on the face to completely off and it dims itself out which is cool to watch, it doesn't take up much space, I can adjust the buzzer alarm volume as well as the radio alarm volume, and the very best features

Perhaps the most bothersome deisgn issue is the fact that lighting of both displays is super bright every time one touches the radio controls

The backlighting on the clock is bright enough to read by and certainly more than enough light for emergencies.

When in alarm or snooze mode the display lights up amber as opposed to the normal blue-grey

Light is a little too bright even when dimmed, but we either turn it off or put something in front of it.

I noticed last night that the buzzer alarms light up amber and the radio alarms light up green

, then the light dims on it once he shuts it off.

You can dim the light or turn it off by dialing it down on the bottom

If you turn off the alarm while the lights are dim it will switch to full brightness and you have turn turn it back off

The atomic clock feature takes a while to set up (you need to just leave it alone for a few hours).the back-light is VERY bright unless it's off

The back light on my old Sony clock is still working at 15+ years

I love that the face lights up and that you have digital and clock face time options

I couldn't dim the light low enough for me to sleep . .

The lighting is fully adjustable from full very bright to no light at all with a small dial underneath the clock.

You can brighten the light by pressing appropriate buttons but when you're done, the brightness returns to the abnormally bright condition

So, one has to turn the radio off in alarm mode then turn it back on in regular mode to regain control of the volume whence the super bright light comes back on at the full setting

The only negative thing is the light is very bright and can't be turned down much.

Also, it's fantastic to have that little reassuring light telling you that your alarm for the next day is preparing to do its job in the morning

If I'm listening to the radio and almost asleep, and reach over to turn it off, that sudden bright light is really annoying.

fro my bed.provides light in the middle of the night...easy to see

The lighted pale-white dial emits a pretty bright light, but it can be dimmed.

The LED light stays on full all the time.

The brightness can be set all the way down to zero if you want so there is no glaring light at night

However, as I feared the lit-when-active alarm buttons are a bit bright and don't dim with the setting knob.

Even when turning down the brightness, the light is so bright I have to turn it off to sleep.

A little light is fine; this was way too much
