Hi,

Have Texecom fixed their issue with the backlights failing in their Odyssey X external sounders. I've heard people say that they have and people say they haven't and I've seen a few with failed backlights and some that have been installed for around a year that still have functioning backlights.

Thanks,
Alex

Overall I think the bell is not that good , get something else

Al what do you use?

I actually would say they are well designed even tho I don't use that model.

Anything with a backlight will die eventually and at least the led strip is removable/replaceable.

Yes compared to the old delta on board led , but then the other delta had the module aswell, and that led module used to be available a fair bit , didn't see much fail on latter
