Abstract: A wall clock of the analog type with hands for indicating the time includes a battery, a housing, a dial with time indicia disposed in the housing and an illumination module disposed adjacently to the dial. The illumination module has one or more recesses defined in an edge with one or more light sources disposed in the recesses to provide illumination into the module. The illumination module has edges and a back surface with light reflective properties to reflect light in the interior of the module and out the front surface and through the dial to provide night lighting exterior to the clock. Preferably, the module has an ovate shape such that the recesses and light sources are disposed outside of the dial area. A light sensor senses the ambient lighting conditions and activates and deactivates the light source. The starting and ending times for illumination may also be programmed into the clock. A battery icon has a plurality of bars to indicate the remaining battery capacity.

Abstract: A clock with a display of the liquid crystal display (LCD) type provides indicia such as time, day, month, year and temperature, and also provides sufficient back lighting to operate as a night light. The clock has a reflector module disposed behind the LCD display with a generally clear module element that may have an engraved back surface for improved light dispersion from one or more light sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). The module element has edges with reflective properties, a light reflective material disposed behind said module element and one or more light sources disposed along an edge thereof. The edge of the module element preferably has a notch or recess for positioning the light source therein. The invention also includes reflector modules for clocks.
