Texecom sell say the oddessy 3 as well as its empty dummy.

The real one has two green flashing LED's which flashing from left right (or maybe other way round)

Anyways whats the point then in fitting a dummy oddessy box? It doesnt have the flashing green LED's so no ones gonna think its real anyways. Theyll know its a damn dummy!

So defeats the puropse of having one doesnt it?!

Er, yeah.........

I think you'll find that everyone sells a dummy version of their boxes with no LED's, it's the way it is!

You can buy a batery operated LED unit which will provide the flashing lights, but by the time you've done that you may as well get a live box and wire it up properly, especially if you're fitting it yourself.

The dummy box isn't supposed to fool anyone, it's a warning to a thief that the premisses are protected.

Working box at the front, & dummy at the rear to notify a thief the house may be alarmed.

oh ok, thanks lads.

I guess what service eng. is saying makes sense. About it being a warning...

I may buy some green leds though to make it look even more deadly! Works out cheaper than having two.

My thoughts too. Sometimes i wonder...........

The ones with high powered red lasers are the deadly ones.

Why dont you ask texecom if they would do one with a shiny disco ball spinning round, scatter the led light round your garden.

I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

The one with optional blow-dart attachment is the deadly one, the other are just plain decent. :whistle:
