FAQs
Why are Sunbright’s smoke detectors described as meeting the “highest safety standards”?
Every model we supply and install is tested to the latest editions of UL 217 / UL 268, EN-14604, and the regional electrical code adopted by the City of Sunbright. They also carry CE, RoHS, and ISO-9001 manufacturing certifications. In addition, each batch undergoes third-party heat, smoke-density, and false-alarm testing, ensuring sensitivity stays within 0.5–4.0 %/ft obscuration as required by NFPA-72. This multilayer compliance guarantees faster, more reliable detection and minimal nuisance alarms.
What detector technologies do you offer, and how do I choose the right one for my home or business?
Sunbright offers photoelectric, ionization, and dual-sensor detectors. Photoelectric units excel at smoldering fires (common in bedrooms and living areas), while ionization devices react quickest to flaming fires (often starting in kitchens or workshops). Our dual-sensor models combine both technologies for comprehensive coverage. During an on-site assessment, our licensed electrician will map out risk zones and recommend the appropriate detector type and spacing in line with NFPA-72 or BS-5839 Part 6 guidelines.
How often should I test and maintain my Sunbright smoke detectors?
Press the built-in test button once a month to verify sounder operation and battery status. Replace alkaline batteries at least annually—or immediately when the low-battery chirp sounds. For sealed 10-year lithium models, perform monthly functional tests and replace the entire unit at the end of its 10-year life. Vacuum the detector’s exterior every six months to remove dust and schedule a professional inspection every 2 years (or more frequently in commercial settings) to ensure sensors remain within calibrated sensitivity.
Do Sunbright smoke detectors need to be hard-wired, or can they run on batteries only?
We provide three configurations: 1) 230 V hard-wired with battery backup (required for new residential construction in Sunbright), 2) Stand-alone 10-year sealed lithium battery units for retrofits where wiring is impractical, and 3) Wire-free RF-linked systems powered by 10-year lithium packs for heritage or rental properties. All options are compliant with local electrical-safety bylaws; our technicians will advise on the code-mandated choice for your premises.
What is an interconnected alarm system, and does Sunbright support wireless interlinking?
Interconnected alarms communicate so that if one detector senses smoke, every unit in the network sounds—giving occupants throughout the building maximum escape time. Sunbright offers both hard-wired interconnection (up to 18 devices on one circuit) and encrypted 868 MHz wireless interlinking that can cover multiple floors without running new cabling. Wireless modules are factory-paired for plug-and-play installation and include redundancy protocols to prevent signal dropout.
Which approvals or warranties back Sunbright smoke detectors?
All models are UL-listed or BSI Kitemark-approved, CE-marked, and conform to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. We provide a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty on the sensing chamber and electronics, plus a 5-year workmanship warranty on installation performed by our Sunbright-licensed electricians. In commercial projects, we supply full test certificates and maintenance logs to satisfy insurance and regulatory audits.
