Lighted wireless dual doorbell?

[paperfist]

Anyone knows who makes one?

For front and back door. Separate rings for each entrance. Wireless with a light that’s always on.

Everyone I come across can do all that except the light is only on if you press the doorbell which is weird to me.

maybe this is not obvious, but if the light is on all the time, the battery will not last?

I know, but it wouldn't matter to me. Maybe the battery draw on a LED is just to great to be viable. Maybe I can rig it up so the doorbell stays lit when not pressed. Some of them though claim 3 year battery life on the type of battery a car key fob uses.

i mean, a single led aaa maglight claims a runtime of 1 h 45 min for 47 lumens. so lest call your bell 1 lumen and assume a linear relationship.... ~ 87 hrs. or 3 or 4 days. the wireless part works for so long because its only running when you hit the button once a month for 1/2 of one second.

also, do houses not come with doorbell wiring and the little transformer in the basement/crawlspace/closet anymore??

This must be why you make the big bucks 3 or 4 days wouldn't be great for battery replacement. I thought it would last a lot longer with an LED.

They do, but whoever owned this place before only had one door bell set for the back door and I don't want to run another transformer to the front door and have 2 separate systems. I guess I'm overthinking the lighted doorbell anyway since the street lights provide plenty illumination and as you said there's going to be 1-3 people a month even ringing it. I don't even think UPS rings them anymore either.

I'm not sure about other houses but ours was constructed in 2011 and there is no doorbell wiring. Heck when we moved in there wasn't even a doorbell so I ended up buying one of those cheapo wireless ones off Ebay and installing it so at least we have something.

I'd love to run actual wiring to the front door so we can get something like the Ring but the front of our house is brick and last time I ran wiring through the walls for our Nest it was shall we say quite the experience.....one that I don't really want to repeat.
