GallagherLive Fence Indicator | Detects Electric Fence Energizer Pulse | Visible LED Light Indicator Alert Device That Clips to Wire or Tape Fences | Low Voltage Cut Off | UV and Water Resistant

Didn’t know how I would like it since it’s so small and hard to see in the sunlight, but it is very bright and visible in low light and at night at a distance. A little pricey but worth it for the peace of mind of knowing the fence is working properly. Will be buying more since we have a lot of electric fences and chargers for horses and cows. I can’t review how well it will hold up long term but I like the fact that there is no batteries and the grounding rod is how it gets its ‘juice’.

I absolutely LOVE this indicator. I bought a few smaller (cheaper) ones a few years ago, and they were nice to have this little blinky dots around the field. But they wore out and this was my next iteration. So far most everything I've bought from Gallagher has been top notch and this product fits that bill. The easy installation was awesome, and the light itself is much brighter than the other very small ones I used to have.

This thing works excellently. With grid power supply the blinker is brighter; deems a bit when system is using solar power. But it works reliably.

The media could not be loaded. As with most things, longevity will be the true 5th star of the review. Right out of the box this is a well made indicator with a nice cord length and a sizable ground probe. The spring clamping action is not flimsy, but firm and has on the inside a notch to allow for wire/rope (above it) and tape connections (below it) specifically which is a nice touch. When it clamps on, it holds on, creates no arcing that is visible or audible, and you will have to orient the wire somewhat to help the viewing angle of the light but it’s not a big deal. Now, ( for reference that fence it’s installed on uses an Intellishock 10 from Premier One. 10,500 DCV @ 1.0-1.3 Joules )… the beacon light is BRIGHT and pulses with the energizer. This light at night is easily visible at well over 100 yards away it will get your attention, especially if you are viewing straight on. From other angles that is diminished some but it still visible enough to accomplish its purpose, so it is best to position the LEDs to face the direction of likely foot traffic to get the most out of the flash.During the day, especially in open sunlight scenarios.. it is still visible straight on, but does not offer the same brightness intensity as seen at night and that ought to be expected. The beacon gets its power from the energy pulses on the line, so no batteries. If it is flashing, your fence is energized. If not, either the fence power is OFF, or there is LOW voltage, a fault/break issue. Overall, I am pleased with its performance so far, and should that change I will update this review. I see no reason to not recommend this to other users of electric fence.

Indicator light is dim and hard to see during sunny, daylight conditions. At night we can see the light blinking over 50 yards away at our house without issue. It's great reassurance seeing this blinking and knowing that your fence is working.

This company has the best customer service I have ever experienced. I had some trouble connecting the product. The first customer service rep. contacted me immeadiately. She was uncertain about the connectivity issue, so she referred me to an engineer. That guy actually took one of the same products from their company inventory, and tested it on his electric fence. He had some similar issues, and offered a refund. It was really not suited for my fence type, not an issue with the product. But, what company goes to that length to help a customer out??? This one! Super rare to run in to this kind of service nowadays. They have a customer for life.

My wife bought the Gallagher Live Fence Indicator because the energizer we had before kicked the bucket and the puppies got out, by digging under the fence. People around here get really fussy when my beautiful, friendly, well-socialized, adorable Pit Bulls run around the neighborhood. I had no indication that the wires were not charged. Well, the Gallagher Live Fence Indicator won’t help us one bit. When we spend this kind of money for a simple gadget, we expect a product that does what it’s supposed to. Right? I made sure the soil is wet, but it does dry up, if you don’t get regular rain. Regardless, if you fiddle with the indicator and rub it against the energized wire you will see it flashing, but as soon as you let go, no more flashes. Too finicky, for my tastes. BTW, just so that we are clear, we use a brand new Patriot PMX120 Electric Fence Energizer, 1.2 Joule, no load voltage = 10,200V; 500 ohm load voltage = 5,500V, three strands of wire, 200 ft long, properly installed.. The Gallagher is worthless for my needs. In the garbage I goes.

Love my Gallagher Live Fence Indicator. Worked perfectly right out of the box and it gives me great comfort from inside my home to see that my electric fence is actually working and I can rest at night knowing our flock is protected against predators.
