Well two questions then
1. Can it be installed to manufacturers instructions and work corectly to save lives and property
2.Does it comply with the relevant B.s

Just a thought but if you have a lighting circuit with permanent live up on ceiling could you not use this to fit a wireless base heat to link up with others.

I don't know how or when I got these thoughts but I have always believed

When a fire develops the smoke billows up the wall in a rotating plume
At the joint between the wall and the ceiling there is a dead spot,its where the concentration of smoke is much less,the detector sited here will not be as efficient as when its mounted outside that zone

Its for that reason I have never mounted any smoke detector other than on a ceiling away from a wall

I believe that is the convention behind it too.
