Digital alarm clock Philips TAR4500/10 Black LED display 12/24h

The Philips TAR4500/10 is a digital alarm clock with a clear black LED display that supports 12/24‑hour formats. Its large clock digits and adjustable display brightness make the time easy to read at a glance, and a dedicated DST button lets you quickly switch for daylight saving. The unit is powered from mains with a low typical power consumption and includes a battery backup for clock and alarms when mains power is lost.

Advantages

Large, high-contrast LED digits and adjustable brightness ensure clear visibility both day and night. A built-in USB-C port allows overnight charging of a phone from the clock’s power supply. Simple, dedicated buttons on top provide direct access to common functions without navigating menus. Dual alarms with selectable radio or tone and gradual wake volume reduce abrupt wake-ups. The FM digital tuner offers up to 20 presets, and a Sleep Timer automatically turns the radio off after a set interval.
