Is it possible to turn off the clock display? I would like to use this for my kid's room but am afraid that it might emit too much light at night.

No - I tried this too, it goes down very dim and only shows straight on, but will not turn off.Great sound, good value, easy to use.

I don't think you can turn it off the but the light from the display is very minimal. Only the numbers are lit, no backlighting.

As far as I am aware the light with the clock etc on it does not turn off or even dim. It's permanently lit up with the time displaying when turned off.

I don't think you can turn it off or get it below 1. Your only options are probably to turn the front away from you, or use something to cover that part of the display. A small hand towel could probably be used to bunch up in front of it while you're sleeping, while easily stowed away when making your bed in the morning.

The display light which is quite bright goes on automatically when you press buttons and it goes off after a few seconds of not touching anything. There is a small blue bulb light that stays on all the time but I haven't found it to be disruptive. In a dark room it will give off a bit of a blue glow and I suppose if it really bothers you can try to cover it up but as I say, it hasn't been an issue for us.

It is not possible to turn off the display at any time, though you can adjust brightness from 0-100. The best technique to use to conserve battery life is turn the unit off when not in use. This only takes a second or so.

The "night light" feature can be turned off, but it still shines a lot of light out the little holes in the purple part, and all of the buttons are lit up all of the time. I found this really annoying. I taped black tape over the purple part, but still have to hide it behind books, etc., to hide the bright blue glow from all the buttons.

Yes it can be turned off. It has 3 settings which are flashing, fast flashing and no flashing it just lights up. When not in use you can turn it off altogether

Hi! No matter what angle or what dimmer setting - I can't read the display. It seems that the back lighting is too bright and everything is lit. Instead of 8:30 like the picture on the left here says... my clock reads 8:88

The only way I can display the clock time is to turn the little power switch to off. Somebody else said there was some type of screen saver that reverts back to the clock when listening to the radio. I haven't discovered how to do this yet. It's frustrating not seeing the Clock display while listening to the various stations. Otherwise I love this radio. I think a techie designed the clock rather then talking to regular users.

It can not be turned off. The light is very dim, though. It only gets bright when the motion detector is set off.

The unit does not sleep, the display stays on/lit until you turn it off yourself! I would class this as a regular LED display you would find on home appliances? It isn't particularly bright, but not overly dim either. In a well lit room it is quite unobtrusive, but clear and visible in the dark. The Amazon picture is a fair depiction of what you get!

Yes, you can turn off the light. If fact you can choose between 3 different light intensity.It works for 5 hours. I love mine!

No. The night light can be turned off, but the display panel is always on, and the blue leds are brighter than you might expect. I tried to tape some cardboard over it, but there's still a glow and it interferes with the hygrometer.

I believe you can turn if off using the pin they provide you with to initially turn it on. To turn it ON you insert the pin in a small hole till it clicks. This is the ON position. Using the same pin you reinsert the pin into a different hole till you hear a click and it is OFF. The "holes" are marked ON/OFF and are easily found. Putting it in OFF disables the light. If you enable it again by turning it ON with the pin/hole it remains very dim at night. There is no simple switch to turn it on/off as the light seems it was designed to be on most of the time.

Yes you can turn the projection off. My husband and I leave it on during the week so I can see the time on the ceiling, but turn it off on weekends. It has a nice blue glow so it doesn't hurt your eyes.

If you are referring to the time display, no, it does not turn off. I had to turn the unit around because the light was too bright next to my bed

There are lights and an LCD display at the top. They don't look bright but I only sue mine during the day. I'd the lights are too bright they could easily be covered with black tape but I don't think they'd be a problem unless you like a pitch black room.
