A perfectly ordinary analogue alarm clock, with little LEDs on the hands and at each number position so it can be read in the dark.

Why not just get a digital LED clock? I prefer analogue clocks.

Not this, something different. [Laughs Last, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

Very close to what [hippo] describes. [Laughs Last, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

+ It would be easier for near-sighted people to see it without putting on their glasses. You could also use dim LEDs (visible only in the dark) because you wouldn’t need to be able to see the LEDs during the day, thereby causing less light pollution.

I've seen LCD clocks and watches like this, but not LED.

Nice links [LL]. I wouldn't describe the second one as "very" close - it's got a digital display and hasn't got moving hands. The "Binary LED Clock" is nice though.
[waugs] Do you mean you've seen clocks with an LCD representation of hands or LCD displays actually *on* the hands?
[AO] Dim LEDs. I like it.

[hippo], I agree. Its only kinda-sorta close. I was very excited to find it, got caught up in the moment.

Links, right?

[phoenix], those links are amazing.

The former. I have also seen analog clocks with just plain old light-up hands. Again, not LED.

[hippo] have you suddenly awoken from a Rip Van WInkle like sleep? I don't seem to have seen your name on here for ages

Yup, that's right - I took a break from the HalfBakery sometime towards the end of May but recently felt inspired to return.
