Amazon Basics Rectangular Projection Alarm Clock with Large LED Display, 180° Rotatable Projector, FM Radio, USB Phone Charging, Brightness Dimmer, Battery Backup, 12/24H, DST, Black

I’ve owned many projection alarm clocks over the years. This one is the best hands down! I particularly like that it uses white numerals versus the traditional red segmented ones. The projected image is large and so very bright you’ll probably have to turn the brightness way down. However, being so bright you can forego a nightlight. All in all, a great projection alarm clock.

Nice digital clock. Like the fact the in the night I can see the time reflecting on the ceiling.

You can throw the time up on the ceiling over your bed, or by pressing a button, just over the clock itself (one facing forward, one backward). You can turn the overhead light off, as well. You can dim the clock's light, too. Best of all, when the power goes off, although the clock is not showing you the time, when the power comes back on, its built in battery is still keeping time, and you do not have to reset it. The writing in the tiny booklet that comes with it is next to impossible to read, so I advise marking it up in your own handwriting so you never have to read the manual twice! I do not use it as an alarm or as a radio, but it has both.

I like having a projection light as all I need to do at night is look at the ceiling! It is not difficult to set up nor operate. The clock display can be toned down if it is too bright. I like it!

I like the projection feature but overall, the cord is too short so I had to add a longer tacky extension cord or it keeps unplugging itself since the cord is too short, the knobs are too small and frustrating to change times or set alarms.

The Clock and Radio are OK, but the clock projects the time on the ceiling that dims over time to the point were its no longer visible. Everything else is working fine.

At first, I was not happy bcause at night the light from clock was much too bright for my liking. BUT, when I’m doubt, read the instructions!!! Both the clockface AND the projection light are adjustable.I now have my most favorite alarm clock ever. It’s a very stylish design, compact size, has a bunch of functions (2 alarm settings!!?!?) that I’ll never use.Cord is only about 2ft; too short for my tall chest of drawers but I’ll leave it on my dresser.It’s a terrific buy!!!

UPDATE: Less than a year later, the LED projection has become so dim, even on its highest setting, that it is barely visible.This clock was purchased to replace a 10 year old Emerson AM/FM SmartSet clock radio. Things seem to have changed with clocks in general (and this Amazon clock specifically) for the worst since then:- The clock is powered by a USB "brick" power supply, like what's supplied with your phone. The power supply is too big to fit in an outlet that's behind a dresser.- The supplied power cable (USB A to USB C) is too short -- about 18" -- to reach from the power supply to the clock if it's placed on top of a dresser. You'll need to purchase another one, adding to the cost. The cable isn't retained very well in the power supply or the clock, and falls out easily.- The entire display blinks, almost imperceptibly at first, when the seconds blink. I cannot unsee this now that I have seen it.- The radio is FM only, but to be fair it's advertised that way.The good:- The projector, whose orientation can be flopped 180 degrees or switched off entirely, can display up to a ceiling-sized "HOW CAN I SLEEP WITH THIS THING" clock. (Thankfully the seconds don't blink.)- The FM radio sounds good for what it is. There is a wire antenna, with posts that it can be stowed around.
