Potter Electric's Weatherproof Select-A-Strobe / Horn

Six, as it happens, is also the number of different sound outputs offered by Potter Electric's model SH-120 Select-A-Strobe/Horn. (There's also an SL-120 Select-A-Strobe, without the horn, if you're just in the market to ADA your place a bit better.) Housed in weatherproof casing, they're good for both indoor and outdoor use from -40 to 150 degrees F with no strobe derating ("the lowering of the rated capability of electrical or mechanical apparatus because of deterioration or inadequacy" — yeah, we had to look up what "derating" meant). The strobe's rating, by the way, is 110 candela, which, as we've discovered is, typical for such strobes.

Available in red or white, these regular 120-volt strobe / horns are UL-listed, of course (standard 1638), and feature a universal back plate and single screw mounting. Very easy to install. You can interface them with pull stations, flow switches and sprinkler systems. For big co-op and condo buildings especially, or for basement, sub-basement or rooftop areas where the primary alarm might not readily be heard, or in areas where your building's seniors might gather and a strobe alarm might be a good addition for older ears, devices like these just make your place safer.
