Will lit candles cause these alarms to sound ?

No, we use scented candles and we do not have problems with false alarms from the light candle smoke.If you were to put the candle under the smoke alarm and the candle gave off a heavy black smoke, this would set off the alarm.

I don't use hordes of them, but when I light a few they don't false alarm. I agree that if you put one directly under the alarm it may go off. Overall, I've been very happy with the First Alert family of alarms. I replaced all of the builder's grade alarms in my house the fall with various flavors of these (single sensor, dual sensor, smoke + CO) and have been quite happy.

The alarm will play through the speaker, but only if it hasn't timed out yet. So as long as you're only going to sleep for about fifteen minutes, you'll be good. It's a bit unfortunate.

Not at all -- in fact the light has an amber glow that changes as it approaches the time of the alarm (think of the warm shades of a sunrise...from pink to orange to yellow light.) Hope this helps!

Not sure I can be of real help as I have only had the alarms installed for about 3 months. They do have a good, piercing sound.

Do not use the alarm, but when it does go off it is like a buzz. Will wake you up if close.

Yes, there are flashing lights as well... they won't light up your whole room but they pulse or strobe and they do get my attention. I am not sure they would wake me up, however

No. It has a pin that when pulled will trigger the alarm. Otherwise than that the alarm will not go off.

The alarm is very loud, you will hear a siren before you ever see the red light. The siren and light will run until the batteries die. There is no way you could miss it!

No, I have had no problem with false alarms. I am very satisfied with this economical product.

I'm really not qualified to answer that. Perhaps contact the manufacturer of the alarm to get their take on your idea.

They do make a very minor click sound. I wouldn't call it loud by any means, but if you're a very light sleeper it could be a problem. I do like that you can set the maximum volume of the alarm and that it starts quiet and works up to the max volume you have programmed. I've never had a clock that does that.

There are small LED lights that indicate which type of alarm is going off but there is not a light that would light a path in the event of a power outage or in heavy smoke.

I haven't tried to use an alarm but when I read through the directions I did not see that there is an alarm. But it is well worth the money for the sounds.

Apparently not. The alarm seems to activate only when the temperature is above the set point.

I don't believe so. The light will light up gradually 30 min prior to your set alarmed time.

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Yes! I use the sleep machine app. And the alarm sounds over that. Hope this helps
