So it is true that the alarm clock is pretty bright. I can at least sleep well here, even at the highest level. At the lowest level, the night light is off, the alarm clock but still light, may be too light for some. The nightlight are 4 LEDs on the bottom and the display is silver / mirror. Above are Touch-sensitive controls, rather than your traditional buttons. When cleaning do I turn partly accidentally the alarm on / off. It's happened to me in the beginning that I have instead of pressing snooze accidentally issued the alarm and slept, but even that does not happen to me now as well. I own the clock since about a year and am happy with it. What I find best, is the elegant design and I would love to buy him back to me!
