Yale Smart wireless alarm bell box- lights?

Is there anyone here with a Yale Smart Living wireless alarm?

If so then can you tell me if the bell box/outside siren lights blink?
I guess it does when activated but what about the rest of the time.

Thanks

    If the bell box is battery powered only then I would say not. We had an older yale wireless alarm(premium) and the LEDs only flashed when arming and disarming.

    I think you could buy a flashing led kit for the dummy box, try ebay.

    I bought a flashing LED kit from eBay as mentioned above and fitted it to our wireless bell box (Not a Yale one)

    I replace the battery every 2-3 years as and when I replace the main bell battery in it

    Thanks for the replies,

    I'll grab an LED kit and fingers crossed its bright enough to make any sort of difference!

    FWIW I checked out all the house alarm boxes when walking the dog last night and I think the only alarm box that screamed to me 'dont break in here' was one with a REALLY large and bright flashing red light. I could hardly see the piddly LEDs on some boxes.

    But, the intention is persuade burglars to go elsewhere so its worth the small cost just incase it does make a difference.
