Not sure how much a modern clock radio uses, but did see the rating on a quite old one which was a massive 5 watts. Not sure if this was with the radio on full blast, but seems a lot for just a LED. This would mean it would use 43.68 kilowatt hours in one year, so suppose it would be better to use a wind-up clock.
