Know before you buy
The LED light is powered by a cord that plugs into a standard wall outlet, while the clock movement itself runs on a single AA battery. This allows you to keep the backlight on or off using the integrated switch on the cord without affecting the timekeeping.
No, this clock is designed strictly for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements or extreme temperature fluctuations in an uninsulated garage may damage the internal components and the LED lighting system.
The lens is made from optical lexan, which is a high-quality, scratch-resistant polycarbonate. It provides the clarity of glass but is much more durable and shatter-resistant.
No, the clock requires one AA battery for the quartz movement, which is not included in the package. You will need to provide your own battery to get the clock running.
The clock features a standard wall-mount design on the back. Given its 14-inch diameter and ABS plastic construction, it is lightweight enough to be hung securely using a single sturdy wall hook or screw.
