I live in an area where tornadoes pose a threat during various parts of the year but live far enough from warning sirens that I have no effective warning if a tornado occurs in the middle of the night. The strobe is a nice compliment to my Midland Weather Radio. The siren on the radio and the strobe insure that even the soundest sleeper will know when a tornado warning is issued. Midland's Weather Radio line makes it easy to turn off alarms for watches or other low level alerts, allowing me to know that when the siren sounds and the strobe flashes that a true emergency exists.

Midland 18-STR Strobe Light for Weather and All Hazards Alert Radios
The strobe light along with the Midland 300 weather radio has preformed flawlessly. My wife is deaf in one ear and sometimes sleeps on the good ear, the strobe light will awaken her.

Longer cord would be a plus, however, just wanted a little extra attention getter when an alert is received. Easy to install, just plug in!

The alert unit itself is fine..but..when the radio sends an alert signal burst to activate, alarm does not really flash long enough..it goes out with the radio siren..it should be designed to stay activated until manually reset by whom ever as authority over the radio operation.

Being a safety monitor for the complex of buildings I reside around , wx alerts are of mega importance as the businesses our system monitors also have many racks of sale merchandise normally outside of the actual store.

Item works very well. Can be seen throughout office area when bad weather comes to town. If you work in offices with limited access to windows (who doesn't?) this is a handy item to have. Lets folks know they should pay better attention to the latest weather alerts affecting the local area -- perhaps even beating the bad weather home. If your weather radio supports devices like this one, it's well worth the extra investment. The only con -- it would be more convenient if a pair of AAA batteries was included.

I think the concept is awesome! The only thing I don't care for is the light isn't all that bright. Don't get me wrong...I will get your attention but I'm looking for something that will stop you dead in your tracks. Overall a very good product and highly recemonded!!!!!

What a great product this is. It does everything as advertised and did a ood job of waking us for a tornado watch here in Florida.

This strobe light will wake you up at night. Good product aspecialy for people with a hearing problem what unable them to hear sirens. That way they see a strobe lights to warn them.

Works with MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio. Wife works from home with headphones on for her job. Even though the radio siren is loud, the flashing of the red light helps with getting attention. Bright red flashing light.

I like it. It's a good idea. Its a shame you have to put batteries in it.
