The looks of the unit suggest that it has a large easily visible light. Actually, it is a puny small lamp which is just visible in the large 'window'. However, the buzzer is loud and adequate. It is still a reasonable value, considering that a similar looking device from other sources found on the web cost twice as much or more.
The last comment was an error. The unit caused an error/short in the phone system which required a phone company repairman to come out and locate the short. The visible ringer. - Disconnected and junked within 2 months of connecting it.

Inexpensive ringer that will help you hear the phone in a shop or other work place. If you are close to ringer when it goes off, you will jump out of your skin.

The unit performed better than expected. This was purchased to be used with analog phones still in service at the plant where I work. The voltage supplied from Cisco's VG 224 was not enough to power the ringer on the older phones. These units work excellent.

I bought this strobe/phone for a hard of hearing person. the strobe works ok, but you would have to be looking in the general direction to see it, its more of an orange color light that isn't very bright... at night it can be recognized more easily.. The nice thing about this system is how easy it is to install, basically between the wall and the phone (an in line and an out line) the other nice feature is that it also has an additional amplified ringer in addition to the strobe.. its so loud that Im convinced even the deaf can hear it. The strobe kind of sounds like a smoke alarm so you might get a few calls from your neighbors if you live in a shared-wall situation. Overall I think its a good deal for the price.

My 92 year old mother can't hear the phone ring when she is watching tv
even with the phone next to her chair. She just wont wear her hearing aids all the time. Now she can hear the phone ring even when she is out of the room and not using her hearing aids. Great product Great price
