- You buy a hard-wired smoke detector
- You hang the detector at the top of a wall.
- You plug it into the wall outlet below the detector.
Many Hard-wired smoke detectors have a back-up 9v battery in them. If the power goes out- you still have back-up power from the battery.
Hard-wired smoke detectors last for years and years.
Hard-wired smoke detectors hardly ever fail.
If you are tired of reading news stories about how little kids are dying from smoke inhallation because the battery operated smoke dectector only had a cheap Chinese or American made 9v DEAD battery in it:
Email your congressman and the CPSC and DEMAND THAT THE 110V / 9V COMBINATION SMOKE DETECTOR WITH A POWER CORD-
BECOMES THE LAW OF THE LAND !
OUTLAW ALL THOSE CHEAP SMOKE DETECTORS EQUIPPED WITH JUST A 9V JUNK BATTERY!
You can combine the reliabilityand longevity of a hardwired smoke dector with the ease of mobility of the battery operated detector by simply splicing a power cord into the hardwired detector!
