Large readable display that glows in the dark to remain visible in low light. Radio connection means the time and date are highly accurate. All this for a very reasonable price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the price *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 August 2026* It's a very good product, good display, good alarm easy to read in the dark ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good overall alarm clock. Read review for more detail on alarm sound and display brightness concerns. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 October 2015* Decent alarm clock and I'm pretty happy with it after having it for a week or so.The automatic time setting works as it should and main the on/off alarm switch is easy to get to. The 'alarm set' button is a bit fiddly to use on the clock I have, but I'm not sure if it's the same for all clocks or just not good on mine.The display is clear and the time digits big enough for me to read even without my reading glasses.Alarm: It only has one volume which is not very loud. When it goes off, it starts giving one short beep at first and gradually increases to giving clusters of beeps, reaching its peak after 30 seconds. If you are one of those sleepers who need a foghorn to get you up, then I suspect this wouldn't be the clock for you. For most though, it will do the job.Smartlite: I like the fact that the clock is backlit (the figures appear black against a green glow background) all night as it means you can see the time at a glance without needing to disturb yourself by feeling for a button. However, like so many permanently lit clock displays, you are not given any control over how bright the clock is at night. Given that some people like a very dark room at night and others like it brighter, I think that Acctim and other manufacturers are missing an important trick here as, if you read many different Alarm Clock reviews, the brightness is very important to many people when buying a clock. If you're one of those, read on.On this clock, with your eyes closed and acclimatised to the dark, you cannot tell (I've tested it) that the backlight is on unless you get very, very close to the clock, so in that sense, the brightness is not an issue while asleep. However, when you open your eyes, it is bright enough that it illuminates the room in a green glow that's enough to create shadows. It certainly providers sufficient light to allow someone to move around the room without putting the light on. If you choose to press the manually operated light button on top of the clock it then shines like a beacon, staying on only for about 3 seconds, probably to save the battery, so I'm not sure that this feature is at all useful except for those who have very poor eyesight.The sensor on top of the clock controls the automatic illumination intensity depending on how bright the room is. Strangely, the light starts to come on as it gets dark and intensifies as the darkness increases. If you think about it, that should be the other way round because when it's darker, your eyes become more sensitive and the clock does not need to be as bright. I hope Acctim have a rethink on that.If Acctim sold the same clock but where you could set the preferred night time backlight level yourself, I'd give it 5 stars and buy two more tomorrow! Irritating that I get much more light than I want and will need to replace the batteries sooner because of it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Acctim 71207 Acura Smartlite® Radio Controlled Alarm Clock, Black - Duracell Plus AAA Batteries (8 Pack) - Alkaline 1.5V - Up To 100% Extra Life - Reliability For Everyday Devices - 0% Plastic Packaging - 10-Year Storage - LR03 MN2400 - Duracell Plus AA Batteries (12 Pack) - Alkaline 1.5V - Up To 100% Extra Life - Reliability For Everyday Devices - 0% Plastic Packaging - 10-Year Storage - LR6 MN1500 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48721341-71207-acura-smartlite-radio-controlled-alarm-clock-black](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48721341-71207-acura-smartlite-radio-controlled-alarm-clock-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
