Hi sorry if this is a stupid question,can someone just verify if it's ok to cut into a lighting circuit (live between 2 lights) to take the feed for a smoke alarm and be compliant?

We use this method quite often and is ok to do if you are only fitting one alarm. If you are fitting more you must either run 3 core t&e ore use radio bases. Don't forget to list the alarm and its location on the dis board under the relevant MCB.Hi sorry if this is a stupid question,can someone just verify if it's ok to cut into a lighting circuit (live between 2 lights) to take the feed for a smoke alarm and be compliant?
Hi,
I often use the grade D system for smoke alarms (supplied by regularly used lighting circuit) and its been ok so far.
If its a rewire and access is ok throughout, then you can put in an rcbo and have the smokes on their own supply (grade E system).
