I order this clock for a friend who like the retro look and hope that the light would wake he up . sometimes it do , sometimes it do not . he be thrill with the look of it and so happy to own one . I buy mine many year ago and it stop work . the local store have close , and I have discard the box . so , I put it away and think I might send it back to you company , but I do not . I move twice and recently decide I need a clock on the other side of my bed that I could see in the middle of the night . my bose clock radio number be too small now that I be 66 . turn over have become difficult with my breast cancer spread to the bone . SO , I get out my Moon Beam , plug it in and it start work . I be so thrill and so be my son and he friend who have help I get it out and plug it in . I do truly enjoy it and it serve such a comforting purpose for I now . the light wake I up easily ! keep make these clock . !!! Donna Joy
