I have two Aico smoke alarms (one hall, one 1st floor landing) which are time expired and need replacing. They are Ei151 TL which are now obsolete and the official replacement is Ei3106. Trouble is that Screwfix want £50 each for these. An alternative is Ei141RC (I already have one of these fitted to meet Building Regs at the door to an extension. These cost £20 at Screwfix.
The only difference seems to be that Ei3106 detects slow burning smouldering fires, whereas Ei141 is better for rapid fires. I know +£30 isn’t much against a life but…..? Thoughts welcome.
