Kidde KN-SMFM-i Silhouette Hardwire Low Profile Smoke Alarm
When installed, Silhouette protrudes less than half an inch from the ceiling, and blends in effortlessly with its surroundings. It contains a sealed, rechargeable battery that lasts the life of the alarm, meaning homeowners never have to replace a battery. While homeowners will enjoy the low maintenance and look of Silhouette, the builder will benefit from an easy installation and fewer callbacks. This UL-approved, hardwired alarm is a distinctive home feature that will serve as an exceptional upgrade option for remodels and new construction. The Kidde Silhouette is a low profile AC/DC powered, ionization smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source with a sealed rechargeable battery backup. This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles(associated with flaming fires) sooner that photoelectric alarms.

Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home. Easy Installation. Innovative low profile alar

Easy to Install…Hope I Never Need to Use It!
This smoke detector was very easy to install. It didn’t fit in any of the locations in my house, but it worked great at my Father-in-law’s house.

My husband installed it, and he’s an electrical engineer, he said it’s a snap as long as you know what you’re doing (knowing where the wiring to hook it up to is, etc).

A smoke alarm where functional practicality meets modern art
