Default Smoke alarm advice

Ours are fed from their own MCB in the CU via red triple & earth that

fed from a lighting MCB so it's "obvious" if that circuit is off.
However all the alarms have "mains ok" LED which is clearly visble at
night and observable by day.


I also attached a bulkhead emergency light to the circuit, halfway up the
stairs. Useful in a power cut, and it's obvious when the circuit has
tripped.
