Could I make an alert light?

Question

I was wondering if I could make a light that people press a button in the kitchen and it sets a light off in my basement to alert me into coming upstairs. It would be mainly used forn when I am playing drums and cant hear people yelling from upstairs. How much would this cost and how would I go about doing it? Would a simple circuit work? websites always help too.. thanks!

Answer 1

MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT ALL EXEPT ONE BRAND DOORBELL ARE 16VAC AND THE ODD BRAND IS 14VAC. JUST CHECK THE TRANSFORMER RATING OR THE RATING ON THE DOORBELL/BUZZER. A WIRELESS DOORBELL RUNS AROUND 20.00?
HOOK UP A LED LIGHT(FOR UNDERCOUNTER) TO A BATTERY BESIDE IT AND RUN WIRE TO A DOORBELL PUSHBUTTON FOR ABOUT 20 BUCKS.

Answer 2

if you can find the wireing that goes to the door bell ,run a set of wires from [each wire] to the basment, buy a 24 volt bulb, with base, and put it where you can see it, when the button is pushed the light should flash,
most door bell systems run off of 24 volts,

Answer 3

You can buy one from scholastic for under 20$.
