If You Love Simplicity, Get the La Crosse 65901 Solar Analog Alarm Clock

If you travel a lot and rely on alarm clocks that use consumer household batteries, then you are probably spending a considerable amount of money buying them. But you can save on your battery costs if you have a La Crosse 65901 Solar Analog Alarm Clock. The clock is one of the flagship products of Equity by La Crosse, a joint venture between Equity, one of America's top clock manufacturers, and La Crosse, a multi-national company. They have a wide range of timepiece products, including analog alarm clocks, LCD and LED digital alarm clocks, wall clocks and auto-set clocks that automatically adjust themselves for Daylight Savings Time changes; however, they have no alarm clock radio models.

Apart from saving money, the 65901 Solar Analog Alarm Clock also helps you save the environment. Household batteries contain toxic materials such as cadmium, mercury and lead which can leak when they are disposed in landfills, causing these chemicals to end up in the soil, air and surface water. By using fewer batteries, you generate less battery waste and reduce the risk of toxic contamination in the environment. If you want to save money and the environment, however, you should invest in rechargeable batteries. These batteries not only last longer than conventional batteries, they are also recyclable to ensure that the toxic chemicals contained in them – mainly nickel and cadmium – will not end up poisoning the environment. Look for batteries with the Rechargeable Batteries Recycling Corporation symbols. The RBRC is an organization that has been tasked with creating and managing a recycling and collection program for recycling and their symbol on a battery indicates that it is covered by their program. You can easily drop off your old rechargeable batteries at drop-off points set up in conjunction with major retail chains such as Target and Wal-Mart or you can search their site for a drop-off point located in your area.

The 65901 Solar Analog Alarm Clock runs on two AA batteries but also features a solar panel on top of the clock. This extends battery life to more than two years. The alarm clock's other features include a backlight clock face and luminous hands to make it easy to read in the dark, and an ascending alarm that starts out soft but gradually grows louder to gently wake you up. It also has a snooze function: press down the snooze button when the alarm sounds to silence it for five minutes. And the silver casing and analog quartz movement give the clock a retro feel. It is very easy to carry around in your suitcase if you are travelling, as its dimensions are just 3.5" by 4" by 1.5" and weighs just one pound. It is an ideal alarm clock for those who value old-fashioned workmanship and who want a clock that is easy to use compared to many of the newer models being offered. If you are a light or normal sleeper who just wants a simple alarm clock that will help you wake up, the 65901 Solar Analog Alarm Clock is for you.
