Whoa! I bought five smoke alarm with Storbe light w/o battery from Ebay online, it cost me about 100 dollars, But I already test it before I keep it for later to move in. Also, I bought other Fire light only for in kitchen and bathroom, that's what I feel more secure and more safety. Plus, I got free Fire alarm with storbe light from deaf community, Good for me to get free or bought less than that more cost. I always to test it before I install them.Also, Why not check ur local deaf community for some more infromation for Special fire alarm for the deaf/HOH. Maybe they can get one or more fire alarm for deaf people's needs, It's free for the deaf...... HMMMM. I am glad that I already check out with local Deaf Community in NC.
