I bought because my previous radio alarm clock in the night can not be read without the light JJ-clock. When you press the light button it always made a loud "crack" that has awakened my wife a couple of times. Unfortunately, the new JJ-clock at night is also nothing !!! to recognize, though that looks promising in the photo. Had hoped to at least read the time reasonably, which definitely is not but possible at night. At least the light can, however, silently turn and then the display will light in a pleasant shade of blue for a few seconds. Visually, the device acts on the photo better than the original. The keys are rather copper-colored, making the device seems somehow old-fashioned. But I can through the soundless light button now at night at least read the time, so I keep the thing. The price, however, is a bit overstated.
