After a new set . See some wychwood epics on the bank a couple of weeks ago looked well nice about as thick as a mobile phone. They are now discontinued and all other alarms on the market try to look like something out a ****ing Batman movie.

1. Is there anything similar on the market
2. Any brought chinese rip offs from Amazon. Are they any good as probably made in same factory using same parts as branded alarms.
3. Every company is now angling direct. Bad news as no stock and no competition to keep prices in check

Those wychwood epic alarms were very expensive at the time, but nobody bought them so were discontinued pretty quickly. Think they're meant to be decent tho.

In my humble opinion if you want decent alarms go fox or delkim. If you're on a budget- second hand fox or delkim 😂

I had a set of the Epics when they were 1st released, but got **** pretty quickly, I remember 4 things about them.

1) They looked pretty God dam sleek
2) When it rained the water droplets formed a film across the tiny speaker holes so even on full volume you couldn't hear your alarm.(yes I know it had a sounder box)
3) The battery was a pain to change and the seal to stop water penetration was not so good, I seem to I recall I had issues with that as the battery was housed in what is essentially the threaded rod that turns into your bank stick.
4) They looked pretty God dam good.

Sorry there was a 5th thing, I lost my shirt when I sold them, but hey that's the case with most impulse purchases.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

Look at the Gardner TLB Plus
Work great with the ATTx remote
On off and mute settings and totally waterproof
I understand they were designed by Darren Henwood and made in Uk
👍👍
