You've not shown how you're creating the string 2016-01-12T23:00:00.000Z
, but I assume via .format()
.
Anyway, .set()
is using your local time zone, but the Z
in the time string indicates zero time, otherwise known as UTC.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_zone_designators
So I assume your local timezone is 23 hours from UTC?
saikumar's answer showed how to load the time in as UTC, but the other option is to use a .format()
call that outputs using your local timezone, rather than UTC.
