Guest Biker Dave Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Have just replaced my trusty Citadel Defender bellbox (strobe packed up) with the new Honeywell Reson8. Now I know my LEDs in the Defender were quite dim but the ones in the Reson8 hardly show Only at late night can I see the red one and the green one is only just visible when looking at a certain angle! The green is so dim I had to get the ladder just to make sure. I haven't spoken to Honeywell yet but does anyone have any other experience of this box? Also is the quality of this product worse than the Defender or is this my imagination too? All comments appreciated before contacting Honeywell.

antinode Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 It's a **** bell box all round really but what do you expect for Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biker Dave Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 No problem in removing the 'cack' , any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antinode Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 No problem in removing the 'cack' , any recommendations? Texecom Odyssey are alright, as is the Eurosec XS3D. You can get both easily online and both are miles better than that 'bell box'. Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 if it sounds ok - why not simply fit brighter LED's a bit nearer the lens? or use the old ones and mount them into the cover? B) seal with a gell sealant - job done get on with the barby. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biker Dave Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Certainly an option, barby always beats work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biker Dave Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 To all that read this post. I spoke to Honeywell today and their only response was "they are dim, thats how it is", well thats the last time I buy a Honeywell product Its strange because all my heating controls are Honeywell and they are top quality, reliable products. Is it because they haven't got to grips after the takeover of ADE? but having said that they proudly display the Reson8 on the front of their website. Next time I will check here first.

Guest Biker Dave Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Can't disagree with the honesty bit, he certainly didn't sound suprised when I told him. I still find it odd though that when they were developing the product somebody didn't point this out or are they letting the customer do the 'road trial@ for them On another note do you live in Chelmsford Alan? I used to live there and my mum still does, sure has changed a lot in recent years Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live there and my mum still does, sure has changed a lot in recent years Dave thats the problem with R&D, they only work in offices and sit at a bench all day, that means the lens is closest to them and they are in arificial light all the time so easier to see esecially if short sighted- and go home a 4pm i think they rarely see bit of kit in a real situ techncally i'm in chelmsford as i live in Runwell, no not the hospital - perhaps i should though! most call it Wickford. we have wheely bins not plastic sacks, and we organise wheely bin square dancing nights and manouvre edicate sessions for new 'immigrants' ie always raise the little fingers as in drinking a cup of tea when pushing your bin - never when pulling the bin or instant blackballing will occur.. don't worry about me - it's something the water arround here regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
