Midland 18-STR Strobe Light for Weather and All Hazards ...

• Strong visual alert for the hearing impaired
• Compatible with WR-100 and WR-300

This is a Joke!:
This item is a joke! It does not work with ALL Midland weather radios so beware. I hooked up mine and it is a waste of money. Maybe I did not know what I was expecting. I think the cord needs to be longer and the mount needs to have more options besides a one-time sticky pad. It flashes as the alert is going off only! It would have been better if it remained flashing to remind you an alert has been put out.

Easy to install:
Longer cord would be a plus, however, just wanted a little extra attention getter when an alert is received. Easy to install, just plug in!

Midland 18-STR Strobe Light for Weather and All Hazards Alert Radios The strobe light along with the Midland 300 weather radio has preformed flawlessly. My wife is deaf in one ear and sometimes sleeps on the good ear, the strobe light will awaken her.

Great attention-grabber:
Item works very well. Can be seen throughout office area when bad weather comes to town. If you work in offices with limited access to windows (who doesn't?) this is a handy item to have. Lets folks know they should pay better attention to the latest weather alerts affecting the local area -- perhaps even beating the bad weather home. If your weather radio supports devices like this one, it's well worth the extra investment. The only con -- it would be more convenient if a pair of AAA batteries was included.

Doesnt work!:
I selected this product when I was purchasing the WR-300 weather alert radio. The website showed this item as an accessory. I connected it and havent seen it work once, even though there has been plenty of thunderstorm alerts and warnings. After using the WR-300 and seen the alert LEDs on the radio, I think this accessory is unnecessary.
