Sonik SKS2's, fantastic alarms for the price. Battery life I thought was going to be an issue, having read that some of the earlier Sonik alarms ate them, but I'm still on all the original batteries I put in when I bought them in April. Even if they died next trip, I wouldn't have an issue with a 6 month battery life. I've used the night lights function on the alarm heads quite a bit in that time and also use the bivvy light for general lighting, not just as a visual indicator of bites. Also, if you're not already aware, the bivvy light has a speaker in it and doubles up as a receiver. £150 for 3 alarms, receiver and bivvy light, I think they're brilliant!

Genuine question.
Why would you want your bivvy lit up when your buzzers sounds?
I don't know about others but if my buzzer sounds, I want to look out of my bivvy and see what my buzzer lights and bobbins are doing, a bivvy light could mask that.
If I'm satisfied that it's not worth getting up for I want to get back to sleep ASAP without a bivvy light on.
If I get a full blooded run, my slip on shoes will be at the bivvy entrance door, I'd be up like a shot, shoes on and I'd be by my rods in seconds.
I can honestly say I don't need a light to slip on some shoes that are strategically placed by the bivvy door.
Edit
Just thought of something. Maybe I've answered my own question.
Unless the weather is absolutely atrocious I don't have the bivvy door closed.
Are bivvy lights for those that prefer to close their bivvy door and need to find the zips?

The light I have as in the link below also doubles up as a torc
You can set the brightness and mutation of how long the light stays on when your alarm sounds.
The main reason for me is that it lights up the area where my crocs/trainers are so I can slip them on when I get a take

Not that I have one, but I can see the benefits and I do wonder if you placed your the under your bedchair facing the front of your bivvy, it would have the ability to light up shoes and the door if zipped down, but hopefully without ruining night sight and ability to see the rods in the dark.
Got to say I'm tempted

If you have only 10% of a normal person's hearing ability, a light coming on would be a great help.Definately on my list of 'go get one'...

The Prologic SMX have an LED light built in to receiver, if that would be enough? I think TFT have them on sale at the moment too.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I have watched a few videos now of both Prologic and Sonik alarms and it appears that the Sonik bivvy light kind of strobes (in tune with the beeps) when the alarms sound and best I can tell the Prologic alarms don't seem to do this.
Can anybody confirm if this is indeed the case please.

The prologic light just comes on after 3 or so beeps (ie. It only comes on if you actually get a run) no strobing, just a solid white LED.

I have the Sonik, I have them set quite sensitive and they do not appear to strobe.
But I guess if they were set less sensitive they might,
If I get the chance I'll try it and see if they do.
Excellent alarms though especially at the price they are.

Smart Indicators do Bivvy lights and movement detectors that pair with Fox or Delkim.
