If you don't think it gets hot, try touching it after its been on for 1/2 hour, I think you will find its quite hot to the touch, try touch the light bulb if you don't think it gets hot. Just because the are low energy means nothing, all types of household light bulbs generate heat.
Ring Accy Fire Station they are fitted entirely free.
The battery's are lithium, with a ten year life span.
Dont wait for H.H., you could be dead by then, they can't stop the Fire Brigade from fitting alarms.

I can see that you are genuinely concerned Walter, and I appreciate it.
The hallway is the central point of my flat, and the one bedroom leads directly off it, as do the lounge and bathroom.
The kitchen is accessible from the lounge only and I always close the kitchen door at night.
I have had one of those 10 year battery alarms but it only lasted 6.
This one is less than a year old, so I hope it will last until a mains supply type is put in by HH - I will mail them to ask if it will be done during the rewire which is due this year.
Your expert info on this subject is appreciated -karma due
