What the Night Light Wall Clock is all about...
|
|
For some of us, checking the time throughout the day is the absolute surest way of making things seem even slower and for others, it always seems the day has lost some hours and there's never enough time to do what's been planned. Whichever camp you belong to, the Night Light Wall Clock will make the task of telling the time a truly round the clock breeze. 
Equip a wall clock with a light and light sensor and what you have is a clock that's as useful at night as it is during the day. By day, the Night Light Wall Clock works just like any regular wall clock, with a second hand carefully monitoring the day's progress. However, when its light sensor detects darkness, a centrally located light extends an illuminating glow outwards, towards the numerals of the clock. This is actually a lot more useful than you might think – how many times have you got up in the middle of the night, turned the light on, discovered it was the wrong light, turned the right light on and disturbed some member of the household just for wanting to know what time it was?
Being battery operated, the Night Light Wall Clock's also a saviour during power outages – at least you'll have one clock that remains visible when the power's out…not to mention the fact that the clock becomes a real decorative piece in the dark of night – bright enough to help you tell the time, yet dim enough not to be too distracting for those sleeping nearby.
This just goes to show that its not just completely new ideas that become the most practical of gadgets, but the combination of seemingly simple (often taken for granted) inventions that catch our attention. What's that you say – time to get another wall clock?

Average Rating
A great clock, keeps good time, lights up at night so you can see the time. Is good and looks cool, but not too bright to be annoying at night. If there is one thing that I have to comment, it is that even though you can read the time at night and it looks cool, the light comes from 4 LEDs from the centre of the clock, so is not evenly lit like shown in the picture, but it is only a small thing. But I do recommend this clock – it keeps great time, looks good lit up and not too bright so as to be a distraction.
One other thing is not only does it look great at night, the clock also looks good at day and the light sensor works great and turns itself off in the day. You can either set it to automatic (so when it's dark it lights up), leave the backlighting always on, or turn it off completely.
