Fire Angel WI-Safe 2 are interlinked together so alarms activated at the same time if one detects smoke.
Fire Angel WI-Safe 2
The Wi-Safe 2 has several alarms where if one alarm went off, the rest have to go off. It is designed for use by the deaf and those with difficulties of hearing. It has a high strobe intensity that illuminates and also has a trembling pad that activates on activation. Some of its key elements, however, include a rechargeable back up battery, multiple wireless alarms. When a Wi-Safe two smoke and a system heat alarm are turned on, the strobe spontaneously illuminates optic indication while the trembling pads wake the individual. The wireless Wi-Safe is a flexible system that can be adjusted to meet personal needs and warn those with hearing impairment more efficiently. It is an interconnected wireless system in the UK that provides protection against CO and smoke emergencies that would be a fire break out. The advantage of having a wireless Wi-Safe two it is not time-consuming; installing around is easy; do not require extra costs, and no wiring is needed. They were designed for the deaf and young children and people mostly under the influence of drug.

TYPES OF ALARMS
There are mainly four types of smoke alarm currently on the market – ionisation, optical (also described as photo electronic), heat and combined.
IONIZATION
These are the cheapest and cost very little to purchase. They are very sensitive to small particles of smoke produced by fast flaming fires, such as paper and wood, and will detect this type of fire before the smoke gets too thick. They are marginally less sensitive to slow burning and smouldering fires which give off larger quantities of smoke before flaming occurs. They can also be too over-sensitive near kitchens.
OPTICAL
These are more expensive but more effective at detecting larger particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring. They are marginally less sensitive to fast flaming fires. Optical alarms can be installed near (not in) kitchens, as they are less likely than ionisation alarms to go off when toast is burned.
COMBINED SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Alarms that combine both smoke detection and CO alarm protection in one ceiling-mounted unit. This reduces costs and takes up less of your living space.
COMBINED OPTICAL SMOKE & HEAT ALARMS
These are more expensive but more effective at detecting larger particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring. They are marginally less sensitive to fast flaming fires. Optical alarms can be installed near (not in) kitchens, as they are less likely than ionisation alarms to go off when toast is burned.
HEAT ALARMS
They detect the increase in temperature from a fire and are insensitive to smoke. They can therefore be installed in kitchens. They only cover a relatively small area of a room, so potentially several heat alarms need to be installed in a large kitchen.
