Best ... as in, a product with a rattly buzzy transformer and also heatmarks top left as the plastic ages...

has only 8 zones ... limited options for everything programming (input or output)... LED display... inadequate event log...

 

In it's day it was fine for your basic/terraced house.

Wouldn't think about fitting one, just maintenance if it was still fit for purpose.

I mean they are the panel I most commonly remove 

Found an installer I liked , going with Risco Lightsys plus , optex pir's and telecom backlit Bell box. They only fit Lightsys plus and maintain them as well. hopefully all goes ok.

Optex good sensors.

Check about with your local council about planning permission if they enable a backlit box, they are technically an illuminated sign an require planning if they have a logo.

It's not something people are aware about, even many installers. Light can be disabled if they will do that.
