Originally mains operated smoke alarms were put on their own circuit, but it was soon realised that the MCB could trip and no one would know, so smoke alarms are now quite often connected to the lighting circuit, as you can "live without smoke alarms" but you can't live without lights. I suspect that is the case here.HarlemSparton wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2023 7:40 pmFunny thing is that they spurred off a smoke alarm circuit
You can also buy Red 1.5mm 3 core and earth for smoke alarms.

Above are my opinions Below is my signature.
Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

That is because you are NOT supposed to test an RCD daily
