Brilliant convenience that the Ei141 and Ei146 have the same pattress. This meant that I could replace an 11-year-old ionisation alarm with this optical one and thus have double cover with the two types in the house. A very powerful alarm signal, and as the two types are run as mains-interconnected, the one will trip the other in an emergency. Simple peace of mind at a decent price.

Simply slid the replacement Optical alarm onto the existing base and it worked no problem. When testing it set off the other alarm as expected. Simple and no problems.
