Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm

...basic systems according to the Fire Service: •Ionisation: These are the cheapest and cost very little to purchase. They are very sensitive to small particles of smoke produced by flaming fires, such as chip pans, and will detect this type of fire before the smoke gets too thick. They are marginally less sensitive to slow burning and smouldering fires which give off larger quantities of smoke before flaming occurs. •Optical: These are more expensive ...
...pleased when I saw a Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm in a catalogue. ==About the Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm== Basically this is an Ionisation Alarm that fits into a standard light fitting without any need for DIY skills. If you can change a light bulb you can fit one of these. It fits standard bayonet light fittings and it needs to be in some form of 'open' lamp shade either an uplighter or standard type but it will not work in 'globe' type ...

Review of Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm

...never do). We saw the fire angel in Tesco priced £17.99 and immediately thought, what a great idea, so we bought one.

And never have to climb a step ladder to test or silence the alarm - this can all be done via your normal light switch. New Security Collar This security collar has been designed to stop unauthorised removal of the alarm from the light fitting, whilst retaining the ...

Review of Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm

I purchased two of these devices in December 2007, plugged in the first one and it worked fine, but didn't install the second one in another part of the house until a couple of months later. The second one would started chirping within a few minutes of the initial 8-hour charging period being completed and would not charge. By this time I had lost my receipt, so I contacted Fire Angel directly, who told me although they give a 10-year guarantee, without a receipt they can do nothing. Unless you want to keep a till receipt for 10 years, I suggest you buy something else. ...

Review of Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm

On the detector it says "replace detector by the year 2013". Unfortunately, didn't keep the packaging. 3 stars for 3 years. ...

Review of Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm

FireAngel PS101 - It is an ionisation type of smoke alarm so may not detect slow burning fires. That was news to me. It has worked well for a couple of years but then the battery life has gradually decreased until now it will not last more than a few hours after the light has been turned off. It starts chirping in the middle of the night to say that the battery is low. Yes it has been charged for a long time. I no longer have the receipt. I called ...
...not been manufacturing these for 10 years (the length of the warranty) so I thought I was in luck because they would not need proof of date of purchase. However, despite the fact that they clearly know that I deserve a replacement they will not honour their warranty. I can't produce the paperwork so technically they can leave me with a useless smoke alarm. Their warranty has served its purpose - I thought "10 years - must be reliable". Sadly, this ...

Review of Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm

The Fire Angel PS-101 is a brilliant idea, but does tend to give problems after some use. I installed two in 2002, but within 4 years one of them was giving full-volume beeps although adequately recharged - and the only way to silence was with a hammer. Bought a replacement (pair!). The other one failed after 6 years of use. Also, the 10-year warranty is VERY limited: not only do you have to send the device to them at your cost (and with proof of ...
