Illuminated Clock

I needed a clock that looked cool. Blue LED's look cool. Do the math. The basic idea is to have a clock that is lit from the frame.

You will need:

• Clock (Bought from IKEA, has a translucent frame)
• LED's (blue, had 6, used 3)
• Wires
• 9 volt battery
• 9 volt battery clip
• Switch

Put the LED's where you want them. I placed three at places around the frame using blu-tac. Make sure that the led's are placed with the correct polarity (neg to pos).

Connect the led's together with insulated electrical wire (neg to pos of led's). Protect the connections with electrical tape. I also wired in the switch. Leave 2 leads hanging (a positive and negitive). Connect the battery to make sure the curcuit works.

Attach two wires to the ones hanging from the clock, long enough to reach the floor. I used an old USB cable. It already had 2 wires inside it (it was power only). Attach a battery clip to the other end.

So there you go, a clock that lights up. Plug in a 9v, flick the switch, and you're ready to go!
