I suggest making it as you would normally then once it finished press A (select all), then click the green triangle image in the bottom right corner, followed by clicking the "Normals" button in just like the image below.

Once you have clicked "Normals" it should say Auto Smooth with a blue tick next to it. All you have to do is un-click that and it should come like this.

P.S. I only think this works if you have made and selected the WHOLE alarm first, but hopefully this helped.

Thanks! I’ll install blender and give it a crack.

If you need help let me know, I thought you had blender so it might be harder to understand, but maybe try watch a tutorial (sorry I couldn’t find any) although make sure you have selected the whole finished alarm light before doing the steps.
