Easy Install. Same size as the old one

Would Recommend

The install was easy. The base plate was the same size as the old FireX alarms I was replacing, so I didn't have to worry that the old celling paint would show through. They work. The only slight downside is that they have a fairly bright green LED in them. The one in my bedroom is much more noticeable in the dark than the old red LED, but it's not so bright that it keeps you awake. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
