Krown Phone Flasher (LED)

I use a cable co. for the phone etc. This flashing light worked fine. But here's the thing I want everybody to know. The old modem had a separate router. probably more powerful than the one they replaced it with, which has the modem and router in one. The phone with its flashing light would continuously shut off indiscriminately with anyone even calling. (Is that weird?) This went on for over two weeks with dozens of calls to the co. (from my cell, of course) and finally a senior service tech came here yesterday. He fixed the problem. The flashing light cannot be used. It had to be disconnected because the new modem can't handle the power needed. See, I have 9 phones on the 1 line, upstairs, downstairs, and workshop, and now without the light, they all work fine again even with the less powerful modem.

I bought this for my brother who could no longer hear the phone ring in our shared office. Hearing aids won't work. The light is very bright and gets his attention. I don't have to yell to tell him to answer the phone when I can't get there and the ringing phone is sitting right next to him. I can tell he is very relieved to know when he gets a call and a bit surprised when he sees it flashing but heard nothing. Great product and great price.

Very easy to hook up. But not as bright as I hoped. But it has been serving it's purpose.

My 92 year old Mother in Law is very hearing impaired. She couldn't hear her TV which is located at the opposite end of the family room, so we got her blue tooth head phones. She was so happy with the modern technology but we had a new problem, she didn't hear the phone ringing. When she doesn't answer the phone we get worried and go check on her. That can occur several times a day. After a little research I found the Known Phone Flasher. It has been a life saver. It is so easy to set up. Needs a phone jack and a electrical outlet which for us was located at the TV. We set it up and placed the flasher in front of the TV and when the phone rings this extremely bright white flashing light happens. She sees it and knows the phone is ringing. This has been the best purchase I have made in a very long time.

The media could not be loaded.  During incoming calls on a landline phone, this thing flashes in bright, cool white light. It makes no sound itself, but works whether the phone's audible ringer is on or off. It makes fast pulses in time with the phone's own ringing, not the slow on/off flashes I was expecting (see the attached video review - I had the ringer off in that video clip).How bright is it?It's actually brighter than it looks in my video clip. Not nearly as bright as a camera flash, but it's almost uncomfortably bright to look directly in to. If you're looking towards it when someone calls, you can't miss it. If you're looking away from it, you'll be notified by the light pulses reflecting off the walls. However during daytime, during a bright day, its brightness might barely be noticeable if you're facing away from it.The package says "newly improved 180-degree dome cover and 10Cd (candela) ultra bright LED". Wide dispersion angle is a good idea, but it's simply not always bright enough during daylight hours. My experience only, yours may differ, it might be perfectly adequate for some. It's a good idea to try aiming the light in different directions (and maybe locate it higher up) to see which orientation gives maximum visibility.BTW, the description says it requires at least 75V to operate properly. It's not clear if this means line voltage or ringing voltage, which is higher. My phone line is about 50V when not ringing.It's very basic - no buttons or switches, no on/off, you just plug it in, inline with the phone. Overly expensive for such a simple device. Greater brightness or self-adjusting brightness (brighter during the day) would be an improvement. Being able to flash in other colors would be better still (more attention-getting). Still, it's a useful aid for any landline phone if you want to 'see' the phone ring.

Excelente y útil producto

got for my father-in law didn't want the ringer he is in a nursing home and i did not want to disturb the other patients. but he can see the light his hearing is bad could not hear the phone ring.

I have an old mechanical telephone ☎️ that does work, but the voltage in the lan line doesn't let the ringer sound off properly. When I was testing to see how well it worked for myself it felt like I got flashed banged in call of duty. Works well especially if the phone is in a loud environment.
