Signaling Devices & Alerting Systems

Signaling systems are designed to help notify you of different events, such as the phone/videophone ringing, the doorbell, a baby’s cry, motion, weather alerts, and smoke or carbon monoxide alarms. Also known as “Alerting or Notification Systems,” these devices can alert you to different events through flashing lights, loud audible alarms, and/or vibration.


Important Tip:
When using a lamp that plugs into a signaler or transmitter, there are several light bulb options to choose from.

Instant-on CFL (compact fluorescent light): The key here is the instant-on feature, available at Lowes and Home Depot, as well as other hardware stores and online. The good news is they last about 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, ending up costing about 50% less than the incandescent type and using a lot less energy, saving even more. A 13-23 watt instant-on CFL compares to a 60-100 watt incandescent light bulb.

Halogen: Halogen bulbs also work well. They provide a warmer light than CFLs, however can cost up to 2 times more than instant-on CFLs. The good news is as incandescent bulbs are phased out, the halogen bulb will begin to drop in price.

LED: LEDs work well, cost averaging about $18 per bulb or more.

Incandescent: Stock up on these while still available. The average incandescent bulb can last up to 5 years or longer when used with our signaling products.
