Abstract
The embodiments provide a system and an apparatus for a combination of a recessed lighting and a smoke detector. A room can include several recessed lights in which one of the recessed lights will include an integral smoke detector that is hidden behind the recessed light. The recess light includes a smoke collecting chamber with several smoke holes to guide any smoke from the room toward the smoke detector. A wall mounted smoke detector testing device can be connected to the smoke detector by a wire in which a person in the room can test the smoke detector without the need to access the smoke detector located above the recessed light.
Claims11
A combination recessed light and a smoke detector comprising:
- a recessed light with a light source;
- a smoke detector mounted to the recessed light;
- a smoke collecting chamber formed outward of the light source;
- a smoke hole opening into the smoke collecting chamber;
- a smoke guide plate to form a smoke guide channel to channel smoke from the smoke hole to a smoke sensor of the smoke detector;
- and
- the smoke guide plate forms a closed smoke guide channel between the recessed light and the smoke detector.
A combination recessed light and a smoke detector comprising:
- a recessed light with a light source;
- a smoke detector mounted to the recessed light;
- a smoke collecting chamber formed outward of the light source;
- a smoke hole opening into the smoke collecting chamber;
- a smoke guide plate to form a smoke guide channel to channel smoke from the smoke hole to a smoke sensor of the smoke detector;
- the recessed light is a circular recessed light;
- the smoke collecting chamber is an annular shaped smoke collecting chamber;
- and
- an annular arrangement of smoke holes connecting the smoke collecting chamber and the smoke guide channel.
A system of recessed lighting and a smoke detector for a residential home comprising:
- a plurality of recessed lights secured in a ceiling of a room for the residential home;
- one of the recessed lights includes an integral smoke detector;
- a smoke detector testing device in communication with the smoke detector to test the smoke detector;
- the recessed light with the integral smoke detector includes a smoke collecting chamber opening into the room below the recessed light;
- the smoke collecting chamber includes a smoke hole;
- a smoke guide plate attached to the smoke detector to form a smoke guide channel;
- and
- the smoke hole connects the smoke collecting chamber to the smoke guide channel.
A system of recessed lighting and a smoke detector for a residential home comprising:
- a plurality of recessed lights secured in a ceiling of a room for the residential home, each of the plurality of recessed lights including a light source;
- one of the recessed lights includes an integral smoke detector;
- a smoke detector testing device in communication with the smoke detector to test the smoke detector;
- and
- the integral smoke detector is attached to a top side of the recessed light;
- wherein the one of the recessed lights including the integral smoke detector comprises:
- a mounting extension located outward of the light source;
- the mounting extension including a vertical extending section and a horizontal extending section;
- wherein the vertical extending section and the horizontal extending section form a smoke collecting opening between the mounting extension and the light source to enable a smoke sensor of the smoke detector to detect smoke flowing in the residential home.
A combination recessed light and smoke detector comprising:
- a recessed light with a light source;
- a mounting extension on the recessed light located outward of the light source, the mounting extension including a vertical extending section and a horizontal extending section;
- a smoke collecting chamber on the recessed light located between the light source and the mounting extension;
- wherein the vertical extending section and the horizontal extending section form a smoke collecting opening between the mounting extension and the light source;
- a smoke guiding channel located above the recessed light;
- a smoke detector located in the smoke guiding channel;
- and
- a smoke hole with an inlet opening into the smoke collecting chamber and an outlet opening into the smoke guiding channel, the smoke hole located within the smoke collecting opening;
- wherein smoke from below the recessed light flows into the smoke collecting chamber, thru the smoke hole, and into the smoke guiding channel to the smoke detector.
A combination recessed light and a smoke detector comprising:
- a wafer recessed light with an LED light source;
- the wafer recessed light having a mounting extension outward from the LED light source, the mounting extension having a horizontal surface to position the wafer recessed light within an opening of a ceiling and a vertical surface to form a smoke collecting opening between the mounting extension and the LED light source;
- a smoke guide plate mounted to a top side of the wafer recessed light;
- a smoke detector located within a channel formed by the smoke guide plate and the wafer recessed light;
- and
- a path within the smoke collecting opening for smoke to flow from a location below the wafer recessed light to enable smoke detection by a smoke sensor of the smoke detector.
