BRK Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with LED Strobe
$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.

BRK Hardwired Photoelectric Smoke Alarm LED Strobe Combo
$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 SMCO110LED-AC Smoke/CO Alarm with Strobe
$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 SMCO100-AC Smoke/CO Alarm with Voice Alert
$179.56
This hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarm warns by sound, by voice, and by flashing light. It comes with an SLED177 strobe, so someone who can't hear a standard siren still gets a visual alert. The voice message says what the danger is and where it is in the home, and an indicator shows which unit set off the alarm. Interconnect lets one alarm trigger all compatible alarms, with up to 12 other First Alert/BRK detectors and 6 other compatible devices. A battery backup keeps it working in a power outage. Because it is hardwired into your home's electrical system, plan on a careful installation, and have an electrician handle it if you're not comfortable with that kind of wiring.
