I try the `` equity by La Crosse SkyScan 31269 lcd atomic Alarm clock '' and it be fine except the clock run from battery only even though they give you a ac adapter . the ac adapter be for the ceiling display only . when you change the battery on the La Crosse , the clock and all setting be lose so I return it and buy the `` SmartSet dual alarm AM\/FM clock radio '' . the ceiling time can not show right side up with the clock face you , this be like most other ceiling clock so watch out . the La Crosse have the most advanced ceiling display as it can be twist all 4 direction , but can not be twist enough to use the clock with the ceiling display right side up .
