    I'd say that was more of a dead giveaway ... amazing that so many mains alarms failed. I do worry that so few people seem to realize they need replacing after 10 years.


    And poor positioning's another issue, we went on a free course from a major alarm manufacturer, and they were very detailed on WHY you keep them away from walls and light fixtures... the disturbance in airflow can cause many minutes of delay.. :(

    Mornin' MH,

                                 yep, the clue had to be very obvious as it seems that forum readers were stumped by this quiz. Thanks for your observations.
