Smoke alarms [RE-wrenches]

[Bob Ellison, Alternative Energy Systems]

The units here are AC but if they are available in DC that is the "cats ass"
so to speak, wonder what the price penalty is?
Sometimes we seem to be punished for being efficient.......

Wrenches,
Here's an interesting followup. I went looking for BK Electronics on the
web, to follow up on Bob's suggestion. I didn't find them, but found a site
for do-it-yourself home security, offering tech support to do-it-yourselfers
(and PV wrenches, I suspect). They have a page of smoke detectors, several
listed 12/24 V DC, and marked by "BK" in the item code. Check out
http://www.aesecurity.com/smoke.htm.

I have sent an inquiry to them about this, asking about meeting code with
DC-powered units. I will post what I learn.

Bob, are these units you use? Has anyone used this company?
