We have a fully functional PC1550 for our soccer field concession stand. The alarm has stopped vandals. We want to add a strobe light to the system. The field is remote but can be seen clearly from a major highway.
How do we add a strobe light to our existing system that is working well? Can we add 2 strobe lights? We want to keep the alarm.
Thanks for looking.

Oh yes. As long as the current draw doesn't exceed a total of 1 amp including the existing siren, you can just wire the strobe(s) into the existing bell output. The typical bullhorn type siren pulls about 500ma. That leaves another 500ma to burn. Most 12vdc strobes pull about 150-300ma.
