PeterJames Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Buy a dummy box and a flashing led, a real bellbox will draw far to much current the battery wont last Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39721-making-led-flash-on-alarm-bell-box/#findComment-440163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrolhead Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 A battery operated flashing led in the 5e housing eould be the simplest route. Poweing the sab without a panel connected will cause lots of issues you dont want to get involved in.

David Andrews Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 just tried a 9v battery on it and it flashes but unsure how long that would last Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39721-making-led-flash-on-alarm-bell-box/#findComment-440167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-yeti Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Anyway you can get a mains adaptor to power it from where you have mounted? Or as above easier to buy dummy bell led kits etc Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39721-making-led-flash-on-alarm-bell-box/#findComment-440173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
