Photoelectric smoke alarms are designed to detect visible particles 

(associated  with  slow  smouldering  fires).  Home  fires  develop  in 

different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection 

against fast flaming fires and slow smouldering fires, both ionisation 

and photoelectric alarms should be installed.
