Buy a dummy box and a flashing led, a real bellbox will draw far to much current the battery wont last

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.

Lots of options on fleabay

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

just tried a 9v battery on it and it flashes but unsure how long that would last

About 3 hours

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

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

 

would type D or 9 volt last longer?

Geezer it won't last

Option1 strip out the bellbox and buy a flashing led kit with battery pack

Option2 drill hole through wall use power adapter to power leds in stripped out bellbox

What your doing as said above won't last
