Abstract

A remote alert system includes an electrical signal transmitting unit located at a first location and a receiving unit located at a second location remote from the first location. The signal transmitting unit includes an electrical circuit either disposed in a module which fits between a light socket and a light bulb of a security light unit or integrated directly in the circuitry of the security light unit. The electrical circuit electrically interconnects the light socket with the light bulb so as to cause illumination of the light bulb in response to activation of the security light unit from an 'off' to 'on' condition. The electrical circuit also produces and broadcasts an electrical signal in response to such activation of the security light unit. The signal receiving unit includes a housing mountable at the second location and an electrical circuit disposed in the housing. The electrical circuit of the signal receiving unit receives the electrical signal broadcasted by the electrical circuit of the signal transmitting unit. The electrical circuit of the signal receiving unit also produces an alarm capable of gaining the attention of a user at the second location in response to the activation of the security light unit at the first location.
