Is the clock illuminated/backlit, and is there a light that tells when the auto shut -off is running? Thanks

The on/off light is illuminated when it is on and when it auto shuts off, the light goes out.

The light does come on in ours. However our digital clock is fast and has never been correct since we took it out of the box.

No, it doesn't have any lights on it. It has a test button and an alarm defeat/mute switch. Still works, still loud as hell when the power goes out.

I believe there's a knob on the back. However, this alarm clock did not work well as an alarm. It never went off when it was supposed to.

The backlight part of the display does not stay on when the unit is turned off. However, there is a display of time and some other misc info that remains displayed as long as there is power to the unit.

The light illuminates quietly and the buzzer goes off when it has finished. I usually wake up half way through the illumination process and turn off the clock before the buzzer sounds. I don't use the dimming feature so I can't speak to that.

No, the unit is light-powered and you just put it back when finished and it automatically turns off. I, too, was baffled out of the box looking for off-key.

Yes there IS a backlight, but it only comes on when you push one of the buttons, and then shuts off in a few moments.

Dan is correct. No backlight on LCD clock. Seems like a no-brainer to have one, though. FYI this was mentioned in at least one review here.

You can program a calculator key. Illumination can be turned off, and it does go dark when the computer turns off.

The backlight can be shut off. I would not buy it again. It's a pain to use, there are too many pre set programmes.

There is a small blue light that is on when the unit is turned on, but it puts out less light than a digital clock. The night light can be turned on or off and is a bit bright in my opinion. The night light is also blue.

I does automatically shut off. After owning it a couple of months, I find the "computer disk" noise it makes before shutting off wakes me up. It runs about 6 hours but I find it too noisy when turned on and just before it shuts off.

No, it's not backlit. It is a great scale however. A really good item to own.

Yes it is backlit........I think it comes on automatically once you are in the dark. It remains off in daylight.But I am subject to correction on that; I'm no expert !

I don't even have a back light. The clock has simple black numbers but no light.

No, I don't believe it is backlit. I certainly haven't found that option yet.
