Description How To
 
It's time; time to make a giant, super bright, wafer-thin, self-standing, accurate clock, and there's no soldering required!

Features
  • With the LED solderless clock kit, you create a giant 9" x 5" super bright self-standing clock only 1/8" thick that keeps accurate time even during power failures up to 1 minute.

    Your finished clock will change brightness at the push of a button, the digits fade smoothly when the time changes, and you can automatically synchronize multiple clocks.

    This kit is easy to assemble & no soldering required. The unique wiring pattern doesn't need a traditional PCB with tiny parallel tracks on it. Simply twist the LED leads directly to other leads. Only six conductors enter the panel.

    Requires 60Hz (USA/Canada) electrical power.

    Also available with Blue LEDs.

Great Kit! December 6, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person from PORTLAND, OR United States  
I'm a relative beginner, but I was able to build this kit in an evening.  The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the wire twisting method is simple and secure.  The clock is very bright even on the dim setting.

A fun kit June 23, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person from asbury, IA United States  
This is a fun little retro kit.  Contrary to what the other reviewer said, I had no issues with the solderless construction.

As usual a great little kit from make but... May 9, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous person from In a cubicle, connected to the internet  
Picked this little gem up for the "cool" factor...
exposed wires = cool
and
clocks = even cooler
therefore whats better than a DIY clock!?

However, I would like to draw into question the "solderless" element of this kit... It asks that you take the leads, and using a pair of needle nose pliers, twist them together for a mechanical joint. The problem with this is that joints such as these are intermittent, some work some don't, and its annoying to do.

I would recommend just soldering the LED's together. Its a very simple task that even a beginner, who has never handled a soldering iron, can do.

Now go! Buy the kit! Show it off to your friends and bask in its glory!
