Are there two brightness settings? Many alarm clocks are too bright for me.

the clock is very bright, but we have it set across the bedroom, so it's no problem for us. i don't want to just reach over and turn off an alarm. having to get up to shut it off, works better for me. that way i'm up. love the clock tho, very nice. works great.

2 settings but lower one nowhere near dim. More like bright and very bright. Very large blue LED numbers.

Per instructions press snooze/off/dimmer button when power is off. Brightness was set to high by factory.

There are 2 brightness settings, but they might be described as "bright" and "brighter". It can be a great nightlight but if that is not what you want there could be a problem. My wife found the lower setting still too bright so I put a sheet of window darkening film that I had left over on the face and now she is happy. Hope this helps with your decision. Otherwise I like it very well. In particular I like that the buzzer and radio will come on gradually in alarm mode to avoid shocking awakening.

I agree ... most clocks are too bright, and I can see the glow with eyes closed.This one is simply dimmed by hitting the snooze bar with the radio off.I'll know tonight if it's too bright, but doubt it, although BLUE is the most intense light for the retina.

It does have brightness settings. See previous answers. I personally do not care for the brightness at either setting, so I cut a piece of heavy white construction paper (about 6 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches), set the clock to dimmest setting and place the construction paper over the front of the display. The paper usually sticks there by itself (due to static electricity) and I only need it at night. The time is still visible in a dark room. Works great!

As the other guy said, yes - you can *modify* the brightness range. Whether you can actually lower it from the default range may depend.

You can go into the settings and there is a daytime and a night time setting. If you change that you can change the brightness of it, unfortunately it only has 2 settings.

There is no way to make the display brighter. I have problems seeing it during the day. In fact I can't even tell it's on until it makes a noise. The display works best at night while you just have to listen to the different sounds during the day.

On top of the alarm clock you will find buttons that control volume and brightness. They appear in groups of 3 small buttons: [ - ][BRIGHTNESS][ + ] and [ - ][ FM ][ + ] where instead of word BRIGHTNESS there will be little icon that resemble a sun.While the alarm is ON (both light and sound), if you press little sun button - the light will turn off until the next day. If you press the FM button the sound will turn off until the next day.Hope that helps.

Try this: go to "settings" (upper-left of the arrows)....use right arrow to get to Brightness, further right arrows to adjust,use OK, then "EXIT".

There are quite a few blue lights on the power and setting buttons that you're using. Depending on how close the machine is to the bedside, they may be distracting. I throw a hand towel over the lights so the brightness doesn't keep me up.

There are four potential alarm times. Off is an option. Sadly, the clock I received would only provide access to one of these alarms, the other three would go off at the default time, and I couldn't turn them off. I returned the defective clock.

You can turn it on and off whenever you want like a lamp and you can keep it either bright or dim. And when you set your alarm is starts getting brighter and brighter slowly until your alarm goes off to help you wake up. I like it a lot. I use it as my light/radio/and alarm clock all in one.

The clock display itself is not bright and is adjustable. You can select 20 levels of illumination to use as an LED nightlight or ambient light (it's enough to fill the room). You can also adjust the sundown simulation from 5 minutes to 60 minutes, at which point the LED lamp will be completely off. The wake up feature begins a slow illumination about 20 minutes before the audio alarm comes on. I usually wake up 5 minutes before the alarm goes off and I'm ready to face the day (sun or no sun).

It only has two brightness settings I would recommend changing the backlight color instead because some colors are brighter than others. To change the brightness level just hit the light button and to change the color hold down the light button and press the up or down arrow.

There is no way I found to "dim" the alarm level. There is a adjustable level control but this only controls whether the strobe light only or alarm only or both activate.

If you can't see the time and date then its definitely broken. My unit is bright enough to clearly display the time & date, even during daylight hours. There is only one level of "brightness"(the default).

I had to pull out my instructions to answer this one, but the answer is the unit is capable of both. To change the time format: You can choose between the 12-hour system (default) or the 24-hour system to display the time. Press and hold the Alarm Reset/Off and Snooze/Brightness/Enter for about 3 seconds. The time format toggles between the 12-hour system and the 24-hour system.

It's pretty bright. I don't use it as an alarm clock, but I'll normall turn it off in my den because it draws attention when it's not in use. I really like this unit, but if bright light bothers you, you might want to choose somethiing else.

Not this one. The company makes a light/alarm clock that slowly brightens before the alarm goes off (see http://www.amazon.com/Verilux-Shine-Natural-Wake-up-Light/dp/B003TPSD7K/ref=pd_sim_hpc_14), but I've not tried it.

It was a while ago, but as I recall, there were two modes, day and night. Have you tried changing the mode? I felt the product wouldn't work for my application which required that it work in alarm mode BOTH day and night.
