I Spot

It’s getting to that point in the price/performance curve where battery-powered LED lighting fixtures are disposable and practical. A prime example is Sylvania Dot-it LEDs, stick-up lights that cost less than $10 and shine for over a hundred hours.

Stick the power-sipping pocket-sized lights almost anywhere, and press the middle whenever you need a bit of illumination from the three white LEDs within. You can take them elsewhere and stick them up again, thanks to their 3M sticky stuff that works kinda like a Post-it Note.

It’s fun to watch the constantly changing patterns in this light display - but the best thing about this stylish display is that it’s actually a clock!

Telling the time is an easy everyday task until someone changes all the rules, then suddenly it takes on a whole new complexion.

Once you understand the basics and after only a few moments of practice, you will have no trouble at all "decoding" the time.

Six rows of blue LEDs are used to display hour, minute and second in binary code - the language of computers. Display can be in 12 or 24 hour modes.It may take a while to get fully used to, but once you get the hang of it you’ll be reading it just as easily as any other clock

A unique present to help the willing (and unwilling) student of binary learn a few pointers - just don’t misread the instructions if you want to be punctual…
