I would like (need) some alarms that trigger a bivvy light when I get a take - I've always done the usual stuff like keep my head torch handy etc but as I'm getting older need all the help I can get.
So far all I seem to be able to find are offerings from Sonik and Prologic - any recommendations from these makers, are there any others?

Sonik Gizmo or their new Herox alarms seem to be good price and have the bivvy light feature couple of people on the club lake I'm on are happy with them from speaking to them

Hasn't Fox brought out an alarm with an integral bivvy light? Swear I seen it somewhere.

I got a set of Prologic K3 alarms, they have a built in bivvy light on the bottom of the receiver. The only criticism I have is that they are not that loud (the alarms & receiver), even on the loudest setting. So I wouldn't recommend them to (a) heavy sleepers or (b) for locations with a lot of background noise.

Fox rx+ is the only one that lights the bivvy lamp after 3 beeps
Have a look @ Smart-indicators, they have bivvy light/alarms that work for about 6 brands

I've got one but don't use it. Why do you want you're njght vision destroyed immediately , before you're going out into the dark, to fight a carp. Better to use a red light head torch. There are few times when a white is necessary

ND alarms trigger the ND bivvy lamp. It works well for me. Also links with their head torch and wristband.

It's a forced lifestyle choice! (Partial implanted hearing aid)Personally would love a light triggered by an alarm..It would mean being able to fish at night again.Relying on the vibration from the receiver has been getting hit n miss lately.Totally get the vision thing tho.It would be the lesser of two evils.

I have Sonik Gizmo 2 and SKS 2 alarms.
The bivvy lights are excellent, when adjusted so not too bright and angled correctly they don't spoil your night vision, but light up your crocs and even rods if you have your bivvy close to rods.
Can't fault the alarms, have used them in some very rough weather, for the money I think' they are great and the bivvy light is a feature I would not want to be without.

Anybody used the smart indicator torch linking to Nash alarms? Just looked at the website and they are relatively cheap - just wondering how reliable they are?

I had one that linked to Delkim TXI, it was very good, but I think a little overpriced, 98€ last time I looked
