Question about Braun BC09B-DCF

The display is not permanently illuminated at night, but has a backlight that is activated at the touch of a button. This means it is not permanently dazzling and is ideal for the bedside table, as the light is only switched on when required. This makes it easy to read the time even in the dark without the display being distractingly bright. The backlight can be controlled via a touch button (snooze/light).
