Out of curiousity, is there a regulation thats states mains smoke alarms have to have a battery backup? Obviously make sense to for just a few extra quid.

Hi There,
Can anyone recommend any solar or battery powered PIR security/flooodlights?
I need to illuminate the end of my garden which is pitch black in the evenings and not very safe. I would rather not have to dig a 35m trench to lay cable. I have searched the net with no luck as of yet...
Been to quota for a fire alarm today and one electrical company has quoted for mains powered smokes and told the client the live is not in the ceiling roses but in the light switch and they will run trunking from the switch to the position of the detector and take the live and neutral from the...
