Question:

What could make a battery powered smoke detector chirp or beep when a light switch is turned on?

We have a smoke detector in the hall. When the light to the bedroom is turned on sometimes the smoke detector chirps or beeps. It has been doing it for years. But we have no idea why?

Answer:

well usually during a probation period they can let you go for any reason at alleven if it what you said short notice.. it is sad they did that you can try for wrong full termination if they didn't give you notice..but usually that doesn't include probationary employees
max life of Smoke detector is 8-10 years. Smoke detector life could be shorten by High dust, High particulate , Uncovered smoke detector during sanding or finishing of drywall. High humidity, Smoke damage including cigarette or cigar. as it is near the end of its life , if the detector (which consist of a radioactive seeds and the receiver ) is blocked . The smoke detector will keep on beeping every minutes or so. You can either. Vacuum , Blow with air gun the smoke detector and hope it is enough to clean the detector . Or get a new one. I would get a new one. Less work, less time and More safe. A pretty good smoke detector is only about 16 bucks at lowes, home depot , walmart etc. It is worth your peace of mind don't you think ?
It really depends on what he/she would like to put in it. Putting sprinkles in resin charms is not harmful and it will not go bad since it is inside the hardened mixture. Most crafters put real sprinkles in their resin charms and that's absolutely fine.
