Multicolor Bulbdial Clock

Originally imagined by Ironic Sans, built by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.

What’s *really* neat about this is how the colors interplay. Where all of the LEDs hit, a white color (additive RGB) is produced. Then, as you subtract one of those three colors– as in the shadow of a single LED, the results are subtractive colors, and the hands on our clock face are in the colors cyan, magenta, and yellow. It’s just magical.

    I love this notion, though I think I like the original, non-color one more. More elegant IMO.

    Is there instructions for making these or any plans to sell them at some point? I’d make my own or buy one if there were.

    @Sassmo: The Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories site says they’ll be offering kits.
