I have a regular honeywell programable thermostat for heat on my wall. In t he dark, well it is dark. Any suggestions to get some light on it? I can tu rn on room lights but im just looking to see where the temp is in the middl e of night when passing by to take a leak for instance. I can drill and sol der away but if there is a ready to go item im in.
Put a motion activated light in the hall. You will wonder how you lived without it. I have motion lights all over the house and they light your path wherever you go, turning off when you leave.
My Honeywell programable thermostat (a VisionPro TH8000 Series) has a backlight for the screen. It normally is dim, then brightens when a key is pressed.
I do not have any backup batteries in the thermostat. It is only powered by the a/c unit.

Ditto. And the one I have, has the option of 'all the time' dark, low light or bright. Of course, it brightens when a 'key' is hit. Mine is dim light all the time until a button is pressed.

I have one two. When it's battery powered only, the backlight only comes on when you touch it. If it's powered via the furnace AC transformer, then it's constantly lit at a low level, comes to full brightness when you touch it. Mine, like yours, is AC powered and I can easily read it at night. To power it from the furnace transformer requires one additional wire, which any given installation may or may not have. Sometimes there is a spare wire in the cable that you can put into service. IDK how many wires they typically run for new installs, but with two stage heat, two stage cooling, backlighting, etc, it can take more wires than it used to.
I used to have a normal mechanical thermostat with 4 wires.
When I got the new system in 2013, it needed 7 wires. 2-stage heat and cool, as well as 24V power. I have a 10-wire cable in there (3 extra wires for the future).

We keep a small LED flashlight on a shelf next to the thermostat. We keep a small LED flashlight on the counter next to the programmable coffee maker. We keep a small LED flashlight on the counter next to the wall calendar. We keep small LED flashlights scattered around the house and garage.
I have no problem admitting it: I'm getting older and my eyes are getting tired.
As Kurt Vonnegut so profoundly says in Slaughterhouse-Five: "So it goes."
One of the black ones has SWMBO's name on it, written in White-Out. I'm not allowed to use that one, but I am required to change the batteries when they get weak.
