I have tried to find a replacement clock-radio that shines the time on the ceiling. After several attempts with purchases from several venders, and having to return each one because the light is not even able to show up clearly on the ceiling! The clock radio that I currently own, is at least 15 years old and no longer made. And, by the way, I use my phone for an alarm and what I really need is the time cast to the ceiling so that if I wake up I can quickly and easily check the time .
This clock does that very well and was reasonably easy to set up. The light is blue instead of red, but still clear and large enough on the ceiling for me to see well without my glasses.
Now, I hope that it too lasts over ten years...
But at least I have a good, working clock for now and I can recommend it!
