About this product
The FireAngel Optical Smoke Alarm 2-Pack – FA6620 – offers a robust solution for safeguarding your home from fire hazards. Designed for homeowners seeking dependable protection, this set comprises two standalone optical smoke alarms, providing comprehensive coverage for larger rooms or areas where redundancy is key. It’s particularly well-suited for those who value peace of mind and want to ensure their property is protected with reliable detection technology.
Each alarm features a sealed 10-year lithium battery, eliminating the hassle and expense of frequent replacements – a significant advantage over alarms requiring regular battery changes. A convenient test/silence button allows you to easily check the functionality of each unit and quickly silence any false alarms caused by cooking or dust, minimising disruption and unnecessary alerts.
These standalone units don’t include wireless interlinking; they operate independently. This means that while a signal is detected in one alarm, it won't automatically trigger the other. However, the twin pack offers excellent value – covering two rooms with a single purchase.
FireAngel stands behind its products with a 5-year warranty, offering reassurance and demonstrating their commitment to quality. These alarms are a mid-range option providing effective protection against smoke, and are an ideal replacement for older FireAngel ST-622 or ST-620 models.
