PCA Security Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'm sure I previously had an account on here but couldn't figure out what it was if so. Anyway back to the plot - I have seen some bellboxes that are rectangular (vertical) with a red lens across the bottom with very bright alternating LED's in them - can someone enligten me what make / model these are? I had a customer today who got me to change their old bellbox for a new one because the LED's were so dim (well invisible due to the fogged up 17 year old plastic lense) - tbh the texecom odyssey 1 I put up wasn't exactly super bright either but at least will look like a pukka alarm box when it gets dark.

antinode Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 They sound like Risco/Gardtec Novagards. The horizontal one is the Nova 4 which we use, the vertical one is the Nova 2. Even with a blue strobe lense, the LEDs are very visable.

PCA Security Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Had a look at the Novagard 2 - similar but it was definately a red lense on the ones I saw - LED's were outstandingly bright even in bright light conditions.

antinode Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 No problem. They're a reliable unit, never really had any issues with them.

Oxo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I do think that also. Only ever seen one that looked good, remember "Gus" . His ones do look good with it, The picture I posted recently shows how bad they can look.

norman Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Quite a few springing up here, they look gash imo. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Oxo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Agreed, only "Gus`s" ones seem to be attractive if you know what I mean.
