    Anyone know of any led alarm clocks that have seconds on it.

    All I can find that has seconds is something in the $200 dollar range. There are plenty of cheap lcd clocks with seconds but I wouldn't know where to begin to mod it to accept custom led display.

    Velleman has exactly what I want except its still too expensive for me.

    Am I blind or are there no cheap led clocks with seconds?

    I've not seen one with seconds for less than the velleman kit. Either that or make one yourself I'd say...

    You may be able to modify a cheap kit. i built a cheap clock kit from an australian supplier, and noticed that the colon ( : ) seperator flashes at one second intervals.

    using the signal from the colon to clock a counter/BCD display driver you get a seconds display.

    i got my kit from these guys http://www.oatleyelectronics.com/kits/k136.html
