lynx2002 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have a customer who wants a live dummy bellbox. i.e. a fully powered bellbox with sounder disconnected and not connected to an alarm. My dilema is whether to put my own signwritting on it. On one hand it gives obvious advertising advantages, however on the other hand, it puts the integrity of my signage into question if the fact that this bell is a dummy becomes common knowledge. A dummy without power is one thing, but to imitate a working alarm makes me think a little more about it. Opinions please and examples of common practices Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would, the question is, wether i'd do the job in the first place, it would cost half the cost of a full alarm system. Cant see why a customer would go for it. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 You can buy flashing leds to put in dummies seems easier than fitting a bellbox and powering it ? Not sure about selling the dummy logo'd in the first place it would really depend on the risk assesment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hundreds of them being sold on the www, some legit I suspect but some not, but yes I'd agree and would agree the selling of dummy's to be damaging and also be looking to have the logo as an intellectual proprtey(?) and to be removed and replaced with a blank on all terminations. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
