Where can I get a battery alarm clock which has hands that can be read in

they don't use radioactive luminous paint any more, so 'glow in the
dark' watches and clocks are a thing of the past.


I've come to the same conclusion. The paint often *looks* like the
proper luminous stuff, but it isn't. The clock I bought recently has
some kind of fluorescent paint that glows green for a short while after
the light goes out, but not long enough to be of much use.
