    BRK First Alert SC6W01 Dual Smoke & CO Alarm + Strobe

    First Alert

    $139.95

    This kit pairs a hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with a strobe light, so a fire or CO alert shows up as flashing light as well as sound. That makes it a good fit for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing, or who sleeps without hearing aids in. The alarm runs on house wiring with an AA battery backup for power outages, and it gives an early chirp when the battery is getting low. LED status lights help with troubleshooting, and a side-loading drawer lets you swap batteries without taking the unit down. Because it is hardwired, installation means working with your home's electrical system, so most people will want an electrician.

    BRK Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with LED Strobe

    First Alert

    $189.95

    This combination alarm senses both smoke and carbon monoxide and adds an LED strobe light to the usual alert, so a person who can't hear a standard alarm can still see that something is wrong. It uses both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensing. Ionization tends to react faster to quick-flaming fires, and photoelectric tends to react faster to slow, smoldering ones, so you get broader coverage in one unit. It's a good fit for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing and wants a fire and CO alarm that flashes as well as sounds.

Status LEDs help with troubleshooting, and a side drawer lets you swap batteries without taking the unit down. Because it is hardwired, plan on an electrician or a confident DIY installer. It also links with BRK's connected safety products, such as the SC5 smart alarm.

    First Alert

    $129.99

    This is a hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with a built-in LED strobe, so a fire or CO warning can be seen as well as heard. The strobe is rated at 177 candela and flashes once per second, which meets the visual signaling requirements it lists (ANSI 117.1, NFPA 72 and UL1638). It's a good fit for a Deaf or hard of hearing person, or anyone who may not wake to a sound alone. When several BRK units are interconnected, the alarms sound and the strobes flash together. A sealed 10-year lithium battery keeps it working through a power outage. Because it is hardwired into household power, plan on proper installation rather than a quick plug-in.

    BRK First Alert SM6W01 Hardwired Smoke Alarm

    First Alert

    $24.95

    The SM6W01 is a smoke alarm that wires into your home's electrical system and keeps working on an AA battery when the power goes out. LED lights show the alarm's status, which helps when you need to figure out why it's chirping or alerting. A side drawer lets you swap the battery without taking the unit off the ceiling, which is easier if reaching overhead is hard. It can connect with First Alert's other connected safety products, so you can build a larger alerting setup over time. Its siren is a standard audible alarm. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you'll want to pair it with a strobe or bed-shaker alerting system. It also needs to be wired in, so plan on an electrician unless you're comfortable with household wiring.

    BRK Hardwired Photoelectric Smoke Alarm LED Strobe Combo

    First Alert

    $129.95

    This is a smoke alarm that adds a bright LED strobe to the usual sound, so a fire warning can be seen as well as heard. It senses smoke with photoelectric technology, which tends to catch slow, smoldering fires well. The strobe is rated at 177 candela, and a sealed 10-year lithium battery keeps it running if the household power fails. It is hardwired into your home's electrical system, so it is a fixed installation, not a plug-in or stick-on unit. The maker also notes that using both ionization and photoelectric alarms gives the broadest protection, so you may want to pair it with another type of alarm in the home.

    BRK First Alert SM6W01 Carbon Monoxide Alarm + Strobe

    First Alert

    $128.95

    This kit pairs a hardwired carbon monoxide alarm with a separate strobe light, so a CO warning shows up as flashing light as well as sound. That makes it useful for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing, or who sleeps without hearing aids in. The alarm runs on house wiring and keeps working in a power outage with AA battery backup. A soft early chirp tells you the batteries are running low, and LED indicators show the alarm's status. The batteries slide in from the side, so you don't have to take the unit off the ceiling or wall. The kit includes mounting brackets and an optional trim ring. Because the alarm is hardwired, installation usually means working with household wiring, so plan on an electrician unless you are experienced with that. It also works with First Alert's connected smoke and CO alarms.

    First Alert

    $104.99

    This smoke alarm adds a bright 177 candela LED strobe to the usual sound, so a person who can't hear a standard alarm still gets a clear visual warning.

Because it's wired in, plan on a short installation job rather than a plug-and-play setup.
