I'm not sure if there is room or not? It should be thin except for the
required circuitry. A friend of mine used to work for TImex and he
showed me that stuff in action. Lit up the whole room with that one

I know, just buy 20 watches and hack them to death to get the stuff. Or
better yet, buy the Timex Alarm clock with the bigger piece and use
that.
