bite alarm set with bivvy light?

Any recommendation for a bite alarm set with bivvy light?

[Dave812]

Currently using the rippton bitekeeper pro alarms. Love it and it is said their bivvy light that works with the alarms is coming soon

I think sonik probably do a set 

their early versions ate batteries not sure if they still have the same problem

whats your budget 

the new Nash alarms have a light on them 

the for rx have a light on them 

never used delks so don’t know if they do.

No they don't, although the matching led is bright.

I've never needed a bivvy light when my alarms go off, and half the time I don't even bother with a bivvy light at all. About the only thing I use a light at night for is to read, or actually unhooking and weighing.

I play fish in the dark and that includes netting them.

The Sonik SKS 3+1 set, probably without doubt the best selling 1st set/starter alarms to go for.

Also cater for all ranges of anglers.

I had the sonik sk set, hated the light everytime I got a run in the night it would go off as I woke up it would dazzle me and I wouldn't be able to acclimatise to the dark, gimmick if you ask me. Just have a head torch and a light for when you need one.

Mirrors my thinking.

I have a magnetic bivvy light which is enough to read by, tie rigs or make PVA accoutrements, and the headlight is usually hanging from the sounder box if I need it.

I barely used my light last night. If at all tbh just attracts mosquitos and other flying pests,

I only use a head torch if I need to and that’s usually on red or green as either don’t ruin night vision ihave found
