Love it. I had a similar idea too. I never followed through. I did some searching and posting online at the time. Although I can not find it now i remember being told that El Wire is not intended to be on for very long. That its life expectancy is short. Half life of about 3000 hours. My plan was to install it in my theater room. Which is kept fairly dark and why I wanted a glowing clock. I figured I could leave it non illuminated most of the time. But have it triggered to show the time if I point a IR remote at it. A simple volume up or volume down would turn it on temporarily. Other triggers might work just as well like motion or detecting daylight.
Here are 4 of the 6 I made. I like the arrow shooting down slightly. Made some a little too steep and they always slide down. The maple syrup bottle was the last one I did. I was able to squish the arrow the most and did not need to expand the hole very much. It was hard to keep the paper labels from getting damaged.They were a hit at Christmas.
