How big is the flashing light, my mom would not be able to here the alarm and needs to be able to notice the light flashing!

Its small...small dome LED - ..compared to a mini christmas light. The alarm is VERY loud..I'm sorry that your mother is deaf - or very HOH. It is a valuable item in helping dispense my mothers medication. She takes meds 3 x day which once filled last alittle longer that a week - I know when I first purchased and set up at my mothers house - she was annoyed - but it wasn't long before she realized how great it is. And I know that she is taking medications.

It's small. If you looked at the dispenser you'd see it though. My mother has significant hearing loss but can hear the alarm.

My mother could hear the alarm so the light, which is a pin size, was noticeable but did not depend on it.

Its not very big but it is bright. You will notice it even in a well lit room or if you don't see very well.

The light is not that large. However, it does flash for the entire hour that we have the alarm set to go for our father. I would guess if you put it in a place where it was easily visible to her and she got into the habit of looking for it it would work. This is been a lifesaver for us!

It's pretty bright. I don't use it as an alarm clock, but I'll normall turn it off in my den because it draws attention when it's not in use. I really like this unit, but if bright light bothers you, you might want to choose somethiing else.

The light flashes and the alarm sounds when the switch is on. Both are disabled when the switch is off. That would be a nice feature though.

yes, it's possible! you can turn off the sound and there will be only the light to wake you up:) but sometimes I don't notice the light without the alarm sound so it's better to turn it on

Be careful then--we've had issues with this quite a few times because if it's not pushed in the very middle, it might not set off alarm!!! I finally colored in the middle of the alarm to show where the alarm needed to be3 pressed which helps somewhat--it's almost a matter of feel to a certain extent! I'm sorry, because it's a good basic system but without hand strength, I'm not sure you can count on it.

sorry, i didn't have a chance to use it a lot. a few time it was on, probably nothing happened that could activate alarm

The top gets fairly hot if on for longer periods of time. I believe you could adjust the brightness of light during set up but it might be set by how bright you want the alarm light.

Hi Amy,The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

I can't remember exactly, but the alarm was driving me CRAZY! I finally went through the instructions again and figured it out. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The alarm is loud inside the home. Not so loud outside. Having ongoing issues with the base sensing one door alarm & it on & off it flashes at the base. Going to try adding another signal enhancer. Already added one.

My is at the entry of my house - also not such a great idea although it will alert you if the power is disconnected from it and there's a battery back up -- a burglar could still have enough time to take off, unplug it, and remove the chip before the system has time to react or sound. I think the best thing to do (and I need to do it myself) is maybe install some screws around it so it cannot be removed from the wall too easily or too quickly. I'm worried if move it far from the entrance or "hide" it -- it will be found anyway as soon as the alarm sounds or I won't have enough time to get to it and turn it off before it sounds. The only issue I see with this alarm is that a burglar w/ half a brain could destroy it before it was time to do anything more than send you text message that the power has been disconnected from it -- but it will also send you that message when there's a power outage.

There is just a switch. The item that looks like a big button on the front is not a button. I believe it is just the speaker. The switch is a standard sliding switch. If children could reach it, they could turn it off, depending on their age and the location of the alarm. On doors, these are usually mounted at the top of the door, well out of reach of children in normal circumstances. The alarms are also pretty small (about 2.5 inches long), so they don't attract much attention.

The alarm sound can't be adjusted...and it is quite loud (like a smoke detector). There is no "history" to know what may have happened.

The alarm box is about 1 1/4" thick. It works well, is loud and has been reliable since we got it last Christmas. The watch battery (it takes one watch battery and a AAA) was DOA though.

I'm really not qualified to answer that. Perhaps contact the manufacturer of the alarm to get their take on your idea.

My mother at 101 is both deaf and blind. Sometimes she will lift up the clock and put it near her ear to hear what it says but she can hear it.
