LED streetlights affecting radio alarm system

[Specialist]

Oh dear lord no, wouldn't touch another 1 with a bargepole. It's a mates alarm that he bought as a kit, then realised he couldn't fit it. So roped me in for the price of a Chinese takeaway.

To be fair apart from eating batteries, it's worked ok for just over 2 years.

No mate: My normal kit would be DSC, Gardtec, Pyronix & Texecom.

Well the LED street lighting outside this property has been reconnected for 4 days now and each night when the light is on, they have at least 1 false alarm normally 2 or 3. So out it comes, to be replaced with a nice wired alarm.

What will you replace it with? 

Hi James: Sorry for the late reply, I missed your post. It's probably going to be replaced with a Castle Euro mini panel, Pyronix detectors & external sounder.

It's a nice panel and so far I've never had any problems with them.

Thanks I was curious as I assumed wireless. Wonder how this will go with newer systems supported by a maint contract?

Have to be honest, if it had been my choice there wouldn't have been a cheap tat wireless system fitted in the first place.

It's a small takeaway and during working hours the front and back doors are open constantly, so roughly 10 hours a day. You can imagine how well it goes through batteries, the other thing with the Prime is that the detector cases are really brittle and the securing tabs snap off easily.

Thanks for that, will give the Pyronix wireless stuff a look.

Can't beat a wired system, I'd at least choose something hybrid so if you have an issue with the wireless you have options.

Hi SWB: It's going to be down to his budget a lot and knowing him, it won't be large. At least with the panel and kit I was going to spec with an ACT1313 thrown in for good measure, he should be well covered and have peaceful nights.
