[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 2567, member: 250"] It looks a better beasty than the ones that plug in to the pendant holder, But most occasions that I tend to be fitting somke detectors are either.. a) a loft conversion: where 3 interlinked detectors are needed.. and these are a bit pricey? B) a rewire: where running in dedicated circuirt is negligalbe cost when you are pulling other cables anyway and normal mains/battery are cheaper again? Additionally it limits the type of light fitting customer can use, nowerdays many dont always want pendants? wall lamps/spot lamps/leds etc.. Can they be used with dimmers? or low energy bulbs??? I get the impression they may be better for some small to meduim comercial type installtion e.g. large house converted to offices, as it says can be used to illuminate escape routes.. probably not needed in your average house?
