This looks as good as my previous eight year old model. However I haven't installed it yet as it is smaller in diameter than the older model I was hoping I would be able to use the fitting from the previous model which is already on the ceiling put up by the fire brigade.The new one will involve me trying to drill a new hole or holes in the ceiling and try to fit it properly.I don't feel I can do that so I am now without a smoke alarm.
