LCD Projection Clock with LED Flashlight, retail $2.99 (www2.pulsetv.com...)

The LCD Projection Clock with LED Flashlight (hereinafter, probably just called "the product" or "this product")

is an LCD clock - nothing special about that, right?
WRONG!!!
There is no traditional clock face on this product; instead, you simply aim it at a wall, press a button, and see the time projected on the wall in black characters on a red background!

It also has a white LED flashlight built in; this isn't a super bright flashlight that's so intense that it could set fire to the side of a toliet seat factory two blocks away, but it is more than sufficient to find a keyhole, read a bar menu, or look for that pesky deodourant cap that rolled under the lavatory.

SIZE

The product comes ready to use; though you'll probably have to set the time & date first.

To read the time, aim it at a light-colored wall or other reasonably flat, light-colored surface, and press & hold down the larger button nearest to the "business-end" (front) of the product. Let the button go when you are finished reading the time.

To use the flashlight, press & hold down the rearmost button (the second larger one); release it when you are finished.

To set the date & time, follow these instructions:

Press and hold down the clock projection button, and aim the unit at a wall so you can read the display.
Press the leftmost button two times; the "month" digits will now appear.
Press the rightmost button one or more times to set the "month" digit(s).
Press the leftmost button once; the "date" digits should now appear.
Press the rightmost button one or more times to set the "date" digit(s).
Press the leftmost button once; the "hours" digit(s) will now appear.
Press the rightmost button one or more times to set the "hours" digit(s).
Press the leftmost button once; the "minutes" digit(s) will now appear.
Press the rightmost button one or more times to set the "minutes" digit(s).
Press the leftmost button twice; this will "set" the time & date.
You may now release the clock projection button.

To get the product to alternately display the time & the date alternately at two second intervals, press & release the rightmost button once.

There are two sets of batteries in this product: one (a single cell) for the clock itself, and a second set of three for the flashlight/projection LED.

To gain access to the batteries, at the back of the product, you'll see a battery door. Slide it off, gently place it on the floor, use your foot to push it to the edge of the stairs leading to the basement, and kick it down those stairs so that the hungry, hungry termites will think it's something yummy for their insect tummies, find it unpalatable, and take it to the queen -- who just sniffs at it, pisses all over it, and instructs the other termites in the colony to do the same...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THAT!!! So just set it aside instead.

This is what you'll see - this is with the flat edge of the product (with all of the buttons) facing downward.

In one compartment, you'll see a single LR44 (AG13) button cell. This is for the clock.
In the second compartment (the one directly below the first one in this photograph), you'll see three AG10 button cells. These are for the flashlight & time projection LEDs.

Remove the cell(s) you want to change, and dispose of it (them) as you see fit.

Insert new cell(s) into the compartment, orienting it (them) so that the flat-end (+) positive face(s) the spring for it (them) - with the product oriented as you see in the above photograph, the cells for the LEDs would be flat-side down; the cell for the clock would be button-end (-) negative down.

Slide the battery door back on, and there, you're finished.
Aren't you glad you didn't kick that battery door down the stairs with all those hungry, hungry termites now?

If you can't find AG10 cells for the flashlight/projection LEDs, you may use two LR44 (AG13) button cells instead of the three AG10 button cells you'd otherwise use. LR44 cells are extremely common and inexpensive - most keychain laser pointers and many keychain flashlights use this cell type, so they should not be difficult to locate.

This is a projection-type LCD clock with a built-in LED flashlight, not a flashlight designed to be carried around all over the place, thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, try to drown it in the toliet bowl or the cistern, run over it, swing it against the concrete floor of an outdoor patio, use a small ball peen hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity

, fire it from the cannoñata

, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto

(I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piñata" too much again

- candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piñata Central), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoñata (also located at Piñata Central) is only used to shoot piñatas to piñata parties away from picturesque Piñata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piñata Island {In the episode "Les Saves the Day...Again", Paulie Preztail says "Hey, ever wonder why this park's called 'Mount Erupto' anyway?", then Franklin Fizzlybear says "I think its an old native term. Means 'very safe.'"}), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or inflict upon it punishments that flashlights (that were born to be flashlights and nothing but flashlights) may have inflicted upon them.

So this section of the product's evaluation will appear SIGNIFICANTLY more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight that was born to be a flashlight and nothing but a flashlight.

Beam photograph (white flashlight LED) on the test target at 12".
Measures 6,250mcd on a Meterman LM631 light meter.
This is a somewhat wider-than-usual viewing angle LED, so the measured intensity would automatically be lower.

Beam photograph (red time projection LED) on the test target at 12".

Beam photograph (red time projection LED) on the wall above the toliet at ~40 inches.
Camera zoom was used; I believe the zoom factor was somewhere between 3.50 and 4.00.

Beam photograph (red time projection LED) on a wall at ~10 feet.
Camera zoom was used; the zoom factor was 4.00.

Second beam photograph (red time projection LED) on a wall at ~10 feet.
It was 5:02am PDT when this photograph was taken.
Camera zoom was used; the zoom factor was 4.00.

All of the lights, monitors and TVs were off this time, so that the camera would not be "fooled" into making a
shorter exposure and therefore making a dimmer image as seen in the photograph directly above this one.
