For fucks sake. We already mastered the alarm clock, what mongo engineer decided to put flashbang-tier luminosity in all the alarm clocks?

Also ITT, other examples of technology moving ass backwards.

Modern phones.

If you want dim, why are you getting blue LEDs?

Try a green LED Sony Dream Machine like the ICF-C414 I have. That gets extremely dim.
>>
>alarm clock

What, you don't have a phone? Or a TV? Or a radio?
>>
>>51766476
I bet you use your phone in place of a watch too faget
>>
>>51766022

Crack it open and add a resistor to the back light circuit.
>>
>>51766022
the indicator led's on my keyboard project a fairly bright 2 foot circle on my ceiling.
>t-thanks wasdkeyboards
>>
>>51766501
And a flashlight
>>

Just disassemble the clock and reassemble it inside a brief case.

>>51766526
Haha thats a good one.

There is no backlight.
>>

>>51767209

Turn your electricity down.
>>
>>51766926
I wish it was easier to find 24-hour alarm clocks here in the States.
>>
>>51767519
>Turn your electricity down.
No turn your darkness up.
>>
>>51766022
I put a few layers of white double-sided tape in front of mine
Makes it a bit blurry but much dimmer
>>
>>51766022
stop being too autistic to use your cell phone with a sleep app
>>
>>51766571
I put duct tape over my keyboard lights. They shine through enough to see them at my desk but dont light up my ceiling at night.

I did the same for my power button but later just unplugged the cable powering the led.
>>
>>51766022
>and it glows blue of all colors.
Enjoy your horrible sleep and mornings.
there is a reason why older alarm clocks glow red.
>>
>>51768275
What is that reason?
>>
>>51768318
doesn't screw up your night vision as much. also less of a harsh light imho
>>
>>51768343
I thought you were going to say something like blue light interrupts REM and red doesn't.
>>
>>51768318
Do a google seach next time.
It blue light lowers the melatonin level even in very dim conditions.
Red on the other had is very safe and stress free on the brain and eyes,thats why we use programs like flux.

>>51768343
This is not me and he is partially correct.

>>
>>51768365
That might be true but I don't know much about that
>>
>>51766022
Just use an old cell phone, that's what I've been using for a few years now and it hasn't failed me yet. On the other hand I've had 2-3 alarm clocks fail (alarm stops going off for no reason at all and I can't get it to go off no matter what I set the damn thing at).
>>
>>51767533
I thought most digital clocks had the option to go 24h.

I hope 24h becomes the norm someday. I doubt it will, but I hope to god.

i too acted like a pussy to get bullied by girls in middle school, it was some nice attention

>acting like a pussy
>girls are bullying me, taking my stuff away and shit
>pretend to be really troubled and ask for the stuff back
>girls dont ofc
>one bitch goes too far and slaps me on the cheek
>youre_on_bitch.webm
>slap her on the face with the force of thousand suns
>she crashes into a table nearby and then falls on the ground
>"waaah anon hit me"
>teacher knows i get bullied all the time
>ignores the slut

Shame i never got bullied again
>>
>>51767257
That might fuck up the clock but try doing so, and see if it still works fine after that
>>
>>51767209
>There is no backlight

Unless it's OLED. There's a backlight on OP's clock.
>>
>>51766476

Not OP, but I'm a heavy ass sleeper and my phone doesn't wake me up at all. I need a loud alarm clock to do anything at all.
>>
>>51768836
Plug your 3.5mm jack into a sub that turns on when it detects signal.

Problem solved.
>>
>>51768768
>unless it's OLED
you are an idiot.
>>
>>51768836
Get a better alarm sound. I swear that stock alarms are made to lull people to sleep instead of waking them up.
Try something like this https://mp3skull.la/mp3/loud_alarm.html
