What is the best Smoke Alarm - Optical
or Ionisaton ?
Both types respond in all standard fires but each type may
respond faster to particular fires as shown. Ei Electronics
manufactures two complementary 10 Year Smoke Alarms ,

Optical and Ionisation alarms, preferably interconnected, will
give the best protection.”
