Small white rectangular strobe light unit with a clear lens and a short connecting cable

Weather Alert Strobe Light (X68-S)

by Silent Call Communications

$16.95

Setup with instructions The strobe plugs into a compatible weather radio with no programming required, but it does require owning the correct radio model and potentially a separate dual connector accessory — meaning the setup has a small dependency chain that takes it beyond pure self_serve. A short read of the manual is sufficient for most users, making guided_setup appropriate.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

This strobe light plugs directly into a compatible Silent Call weather radio and flashes visibly when the radio receives an emergency weather alert signal. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and might not hear an audible alarm during a tornado warning, severe thunderstorm, or other weather emergency. You get the strobe unit itself, but it requires a compatible weather radio (the WX-67 model) to function — it does not work as a standalone alerting device. If you plan to connect multiple alerting accessories to the same weather radio at once, you'll also need the Silent Call DC-01 Dual Connector, sold separately.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the strobe light into the accessory jack on a compatible Silent Call weather radio — it activates automatically when the radio receives an alert signal.
  • With a guide
    1. If using alongside other accessories (bed shaker, etc.), connect the DC-01 Dual Connector to the weather radio first, then plug both devices into the connector.
    2. Confirm strobe flashes during a test alert. (Allow 5–10 minutes for initial setup. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.)
