Hmmm... my projection clock does not light up the room, in fact if there is any light at all in the room it completely overwhelms the projection. YMMV, of course.

Interesting. I've always assumed that the light used for projection on those must be fairly strong. My daughter has a music box with a projection component, and you can see the image (faintly) in full daylight. At night, it's roughly equivalent to turning on the 40W lamp in the corner of her room.
