Don;t you really mean the LED type will work? That's what I would
think. Bulb type would draw more current, possibly ringing bell.
LED draws very little current.
That sounds like a good argument, but try this. Lighted buttons used to
work. They were all real small light bulbs. Something changed. Ah,
the new design, used on some, uses an LED. Those are the one the
doorbells weren't designed for.
Perhaps the OP can tell us if the old button was lighted or not.
And if the new one is a bulb type or LED. From what I see the low
cost ones, less than $10 don't say what they are and are probably
bulb type. The more expensive ones are the only ones I see that say
LED type.
