This clock combines two great features, a classic retro look and a technology that allows you to be awaken by light. The retro look fits in with my bedroom decor and the face design is not too bright, but allows you to see the time if you turn on the dial face light feature. The awaken with light feature is fantastic. I had to adjust the position of the clock a couple of times so that it was in my line of sight. Once I did that, I only had it go to the bell alarm stage only once... late night! Great product.
Purchased this clock because I wanted to use the Light (Wakeup Function) only of this clock. Unfortuately, this did not wake me up and I did not like the "ring" tone on this clock. It's overall appearance is nice however.

Thank you for sending us your comments on the Moonbeam Clock. We're sorry to hear that you're not happy with the light function and alarm bell sound. The gentle light is enough to wake most, but as you found, it may not be right for everyone. The traditional bell is modeled after that in the original 1950s design of the Moonbeam Clock. Though many favor it, it's certainly a matter of preference. If you'd like to return this item, please contact us and we'll be glad to help you with an exchange or refund. We would also like to thank the customers who posted feedback on the dials on the back of the Moonbeam clock. We've shared your thoughts on enlarging these dials and incorporating one-way action with our design team to consider on upcoming models. Again, thanks again for sharing your comments. Your opinions matter at L.L.Bean, and it is often customer insights that help us make our products even better.
