Microbeam Travel Clock automatically lights your way when you pick it up. Never again do you have to fumble around in dark hotel rooms or your host's home. Simply pick up this handsome travel clock to activate the two powerful LED lights located on the bottom. Clock features alarm, day/date, and the current temperature. LCD display shows time in big, easy-to-read digits. To see what time it is in complete darkness, gently press the top of the clock and a backlight turns on for five seconds. The LED lights have three modes: on, off, and autolight (they turn on when you pick the clock up). An absolute must for business travelers! 3"H X 3"W X 2"D

Three flashlight modes
Set to OFF, ON, or SENSOR (light shines automatically when lifted) for light when you need it.

A perfect view
Clock features a brilliant green backlight and a big-digit display for easy viewing in the dark.

Light that lasts almost forever
Premium LED bulbs last for 100,000 hours and never need replacement. Uses four AAA batteries (not included).

Very Dependable!

"I have had this for about 7 years, using it daily. The light feature has been very handy on camping trips and and power outages. I have traveled and hiked extensively taking it along and it has always been absolutely dependable - until it was killed by a leaking battery. I came to this website to be sure they were still being made so I could buy a replacement...." Read Full Review »

Extremely poor durability

"I purchased this clock for general use and for its many practical features. However, after owning it for one year it stopped working. The screen went blank and the flashlight doesn't work. I tried replacing the batteries with fresh ones, but it is completely broken. I called customer service and was told that the warrantee was for only 1 year - it broke 1 year and 2 months after purchase. Brookstone will not ..." Read Full Review »

"To change the alarm time, you must open the battery compartment and use tiny switches. External switches for alarm off/on etc. are tiny and poorly designed.
