Instead of a LED clock, how about a LCD travel clock which has an automatic nightlight backlight..
Backlight turns on when it gets dark and off when it gets light..
This one can be had for about $15..
Buy it HERE
I like the fact that that one shuts down in the dark. Will look into. Have enough lights in the kitchen/living area (MW, radio, voltmeter, ammeter) and is already more light than we'd like at night. Have found that most of the small LED clocks don't say they are quartz or atomic so may/will not be accurate.
I have several LCD battery powered clocks, no problem with accuracy, might gain several minutes per year which is pretty much inline with even the most cheap wrist watch I have ever had..
I have an older Timex that I bought 8-9yrs ago at Walmart and just this year bought a Elgin with 2" numbers because the alarm switch on the Timex are wearing out and getting flaky.
Here is the Elgin I have..
Get it
HERE for about $18 It also has night light feature so the backlight turns on when dark and turns off when it gets light (saves on batteries).
