smoke detector

[mini2]

im putting in a smoke detector in a corridor of a flat and a heat detector in the kitchen.

but im going from the baord straight to my smoke then a 3core and earth to my heat detecotr as they will be inter connecting.

the reason i aint opted to wire it with the lights incase the lights fail and there is a fire when there asleep.

regards

what do you people think

Are they not battery backed units?
Don't know what Ireland does re building regs,
For UK, see //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31573

silly old me they are battery operated so if i wanted to i could incorporate them with my lighting circuit and in the event of the lights going off and there was a fire they would stay on for 2/3 hrs because of the battery life

thank you

6amp breaker would be fine for this/
