		<description><![CDATA[Photoelectric smoke detectors are typically better at detecting smoldering fires, or fires that take longer to combust. The photoelectric detector features a light emitting diode (LED) that shoots narrow beam of infrared light across a detection chamber. The alarm is triggered only when particles from combustible materials enter the chamber and stop or interrupt the [...]]]></description>
