Anyone who’s struggled to read a clock in the dark will appreciate this unique gadget. It projects time, outdoor temperature--or both in turn--onto walls or ceilings three to ten feet away. Users can even rotate the projection and adjust intensity for the best possible viewing. Both time (hour, minute, and second) and date (month, date, year, and day) are automatically updated via the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado for radio-controlled accuracy. Other features include an indoor temperature display, automatic projection focus, and time zones ranging from GMT to –12 GMT with map identification for US time zones. Options consist of 12 or 24 hour time mode and Fahrenheit or Celsius display. Especially convenient for couples, the clock’s dual alarms each have their own adjustable snooze.
When operating off the included AC adapter, the unit can continually project time and temperature. When working from the battery, the touch of a button projects time and temperature for three seconds at a time. Compact enough for any bedroom or office, the clock measures 5-1/4 by 1-1/4 by 3-1/2 inches, and runs on two AA batteries. The main unit can operate from the AC adapter or two backup AA batteries. This item is covered by a limited, one-year warranty. --Mary Park
