Customer Review

Although I was a bit put off the price, I've bought this clock because it simply looks great and a real eye-catcher.
She makes a great impression, even if actually is not much to it, except:

* A silver plastic frame with a bit too little toned glass plate.
* The interior with simple electronics and a lot of LEDs.
* The rear housing with three pushbuttons for time & mode setting the clock, and the connection for the power adapter.
* A power supply with three-meter cable that although white, but unfortunately printed.
* A manual in vain, but you also need not (if they do, there's an address on the package)

What really stands out negatively, the brightness is in the clock says its time.
What might be bearable even in the daytime, at night, despite dimming clearly too bright.

My Advice:
* I got me in a paper business three "stable book jacket cover" in dark blue polypropylene concerned and tailored to the size of the glass plate
Solved * Eight small Phillips screws on the back of the clock
* Set the three plastic squares between LEDs and glass (now you should test times, whether you are satisfied with the result + -)
* Screws fixed - for me the best results!

Who is looking for an exceptional clock and does not insist on a clock, can make here with a bit of skill with great pleasure.
Despite the smallest defects, there is of me whopping 5 star.

Edit: Unfortunately, my enthusiasm has died after only 7 months - as well as 4 LEDs this clock.
I can now nicely observe which fail LEDs as the next, as they are continually weaker.
But as for me not really surprised when you look at the brightness with which they light up initially.
Excessive current can extend the life of an LED drastically shortened, and this fact is known for sure also the developers of the clock.
For me, again a case of planned obsolescence, because in normal operation lifetime is up to 100,000 hours for a LED.
And: No, the plastic sheet that I inserted to dim the LEDs, did not affect the service life,
because its thickness is only 0.6 mm, which were at a distance offset (LED to the frame);)

Edit:. After a telephone conversation with the company TechGalerie GmbH was a free exchange of the clock under warranty.
