How it works
Letters light up. Time appears.
Words light up.
The clock shows the time in English, exactly as you would say it aloud: "It is a quarter past six."
Corner dots mark the minutes.
Four small corner dots indicate 1, 2, 3 or 4 extra minutes beyond the word phrase. Precise to the minute.
Brightness adjusts to the room.
The light sensor automatically dims the display at night and brightens it during the day — no manual adjustment needed.
Four buttons. Full control.
Buttons on the back set the time, brightness level, and toggle the auto-dimmer. No app, no Wi-Fi.
The controls
Four buttons. Everything you need.
At the back of the clock, four buttons give you complete control. No app, no Wi-Fi required — a clock that simply works.
1
LED brightness
Adjust in steps from full brightness to a barely-there glow. Suitable for bedroom use at the lowest setting.
2
LED colour temperature
Warm white for evenings, cool white for daylight. Matches the mood of any room.
3
Time setting
Hours and minutes set separately. Easy to adjust for daylight saving time.
4
Auto-dimming on / off
The ambient light sensor reads the room and adjusts automatically. Toggle it off if you prefer manual control.

Before you buy
Questions before ordering.
Can't find your answer here? We reply within 24 hours.
Ask us anything →Does it ship to my country?
Yes. We ship across the European Union and the United Kingdom with tracked delivery via PostNL and DHL. Shipping to other countries is available on request.
How long does delivery take?
Each clock is built to order. Production takes 8 working days, after which tracked European delivery typically arrives in 2–5 working days depending on your country.
What does the clock actually say?
It shows the time in natural English phrases — the way you would say it aloud: "It is a quarter past six" or "It is twenty to three." Four small corner dots cover the exact minutes between phrases.
Can it hang on a wall or stand on a table?
Every LumosClock includes a flush wall mount. A solid oak table stand is available as an option at checkout. The power cable exits from the side and is available in white or black.
How do I set daylight saving time?
Four buttons on the back of the clock let you adjust hours and minutes independently. The full instruction guide is included in the box and available on our website.
What if it's not right for my home?
You have 30 days to return it for a full refund, no questions asked. Return shipping is at your cost. Contact us at info@lumosclock.com and we'll arrange everything.
Is the warranty valid in my country?
Yes. Every LumosClock carries a 2-year warranty across Europe and the UK, with direct after-care from our workshop in the Netherlands.
