If you use this inside on a desk, can you see the numbers in the dark or low light?

I don't know, I kept it on my car dash. It worked for few days then it never worked.

No, and that's why I got it. I had to replace my car's original radio/CD player, and could ONLY see its display in the dark, so I needed something I could see when the sun streams into the car. I often laugh at myself, having too "car clock" right next to each other, but I need to know what time it is as I travel, in dark or light, so this solution works for me.

Mine is not. The numbers are nice and dark and viewable at a wide angle, but it has no backlighting. I use it for solar applications, which don't take place in the dark ;-) so I can't say how hard it would be to read in dark, but in bright sunlight I have no problem.

It has adjustable brightness (with different combinations of bulbs.) I use it at my desk and find it adequate for my work. Also, it is low power and cool to the touch, which I like.

It depends on how much light is in the room. The projection is more visible in the dark.

No. It is bright enough to read a book if you hold the book close by the light but not bright enough for a desk lamp.

Yes you can see the blue indicator light. But if you don't need the UV filter - just turn it off. I use it in my work office that has tall ceilings but I think it is adequate for a moderate sized house room.

yeah there is actually a setting that you can use for low light. i've used it in the dark and you can't even tell that you took it in the dark

Yes, definitely. It is possible to dimm the clock light from 1-4, whereas mine is at 1. It's impossible to read at the day and by the night it's also very hard. If you choose to face it away I'm pretty sure the room will be 100% dark, even if it faces a wall where the light could reflect.

Not that great in low light. You will need to light the room a little, try a red light or something to have an excuse for lighting :)

Yes, in fact that could be a weakness. I have it on the left side of my computer as I am a lefty and it only covers the left side with light unless I turn it on the brightest setting (3 of 3) and then it illuminates the right side. It delivers a cone of light more than an area of light and you can control the cone size by pointing it more at the desk.

The letters on the keys are dark, and you can see them perfectly when the keys are lit. I use it in a dark room at night, and I can look down and see any key I want. You'd be very pleased, I think!

I use mine all the time . Sometimes there is shadows and can't see the numbers on the circuit boards. It works for me.

not recommended if You need to place in a dark location. It's low light capability is limited. I placed it in an office that only needed to be viewed during work hours.

Yes, it can see in low/no light settings. I would get a larger external IR light to go with it to see further like I did.

I tried it in a semi dark room. It is quite difficult to read. There is no back lighting.

no to your question , I use it for a light when entering into a dark room .

Since the timer activates with darkness I would say no. You could turn the switch to "on" and plug it into the lamp timer. Of course it won't show as brightly as it would from a dark room.
