Know before you buy
Yes, the clock uses two power sources. The quartz movement requires one AA battery to keep time, while the LED backlight must be plugged into a standard wall outlet to illuminate.
No, this clock is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations may damage the internal components and the LED lighting system.
The LED backlight is controlled by a convenient on/off switch located directly on the power cord, allowing you to toggle the illumination as needed.
The clock features a high-quality optical lexan lens. This material is specifically chosen for its resistance to scratches and yellowing, ensuring the display remains clear over time.
Yes, this clock utilizes a standard quartz ticking movement. It is not a silent or sweep-second clock, so you will hear a faint ticking sound in quiet environments.
The clock comes with a standard on/off switch, but it is compatible with an optional dimmer accessory if you wish to adjust the intensity of the backlight for a specific ambiance.
