Discuss Nice looking / pretty smoke alarms in the Security Alarms, Door Entry and CCTV (Public) area at ElectriciansForums.net

Have had this complaint from many customers (normally women) saying can you not fit a nice looking detector.

It's a design issue as much as anything - as I think I said earlier in the thread. The Aico/EI units aren't too bad looking, and are reasonably slimline on the standard base.

But designer light fittings they're not.
 
It looks like that smoke detector is only a concept at this moment in time, The fire angel stuff isnt as ugly as most battery powered and this one is very reminiscent of a Battlestar Galactica Cylon available in silver or white and as ionising or optical models Jacob Jensen optical smoke alarm: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

those sure are some nice toys you got there..............these look the business, have seen laserfocus units installed with pinhole hidden inlets complete with fancy mouldings before, never seen these, it was a case of just shopping around and seeing some low profile white ones and buying as many as you could in one go, as when you went back into the shop there would almost always be different ones every time, its a case most of the time that a smoke detector is a smoke detector and that's it take it or leave it....
 
Are you looking at a stand alone unit, or one that links into your intruder alarm. For a nice clean unit, look at Apollo's Series 65 smoke detector, and a 12 volt relay base to link to the alarm system.

Those AICO ones are huge compared to these..
