The thread on essential equipment got me thinking about stuff we took back when we had the C15 and would want to improve on in the R20.
In the C15 we had a really cheap (probably Poundland or similar) LCD alarm clock. It was small (say 4"*1.5") and thin and could easily be stuck on the van wall to provide both clock and alarm functions (useful for the early ferry). Only drawback was to see it at night time you had to get out of bed and press the backlight button.
I'#d love to find a small clock suitable for wall mounting that had a faint enough glow all night to allow reading the time from in bed. I tried one of the Acctim smartlights which seemed to fit the bill but discovered the light function only got turned on when the alarm was also on (what a dumb bit of design).
Anyone got any ideas? What do other people do for time? I guess the answer might just be to make sure my phone is somewhere near where I sleep but a clock would be nice.
