Featuring an 85-decibel alarm and red LED indicator, it offers clear alerts while a test-hush button silences nuisance alarms. UL certified with a 10-year limited warranty, this smoke alarm is designed for easy installation and dependable home safety. ## Description Product Description The Kidde Smoke Detector, 9-Volt Battery Operated, Photoelectric Smoke Alarm, Battery Included, model p9050, is a basic smoke detector that uses photoelectric sensor technology to detect visible fire particles (associated with smoldering fires). When smoke or fire is detected, an 85-decibel alarm will sound. The Kidde Smoke Detector is powered by a 9-volt battery, which provides easy installation since the alarm requires no wiring, plus coverage during a power failure. A red LED indicates that the smoke detector is sensing smoke or fire. A test-hush button allows you to test the battery operations as well as silence nuisance alarms that may occur from cooking or shower steam. The Kidde Smoke Detector will chirp when it's time to replace the battery. Install a smoke detector & carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home and near bedrooms to help keep your family safe from fire & poisonous gas. UL Certified with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty. Meets requirements of UL 217, NFPA72 (chapter 11 2002 edition), NFPA101 (One and two-family dwellings), and Federal Housing Authority (FHA). From the Manufacturer 70% of all home fire deaths occur in homes with no alarms or no working alarms, and nearly one quarter of smoke alarms in reported fires are not working. Kidde battery operated photoelectric smoke alarms are designed to help protect you and your family from the dangers of fire. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than Ionization alarms. Studies show both types will effectively detect either type of fire. For optimal protection, install both smoke alarm technologies in your home. Install UL listed smoke alarms on every floor of your home, in hallways, inside bedrooms and outside of sleeping areas. Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. ## Features - Photoelectric sensor technology senses visible fire particles, associated with smoldering fires - Operates on a 9-volt alkaline battery (included), providing reliable detection during a power failure - An 85-decibel alarm sounds & a red LED indicates the smoke detector is sensing smoke or fire - Test-Hush button makes it easy to test the smoke detector and silence false alarms that occur from cooking or shower steam - UL Certified, 10-year limited manufacturer warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Alarm | Audible | | Asin | B000PW5UWG | | Best Sellers Rank | #427,772 in Tools & Home Improvement (See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement) #363 in Smoke Detectors & Fire Alarms | | Brand | Kidde | | Built In Media | -- | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,323) 4.3 out of 5 stars | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00047871260539, 00047871403783, 00094718221307 | | Item Dimensions D X W X H | 1.5"D x 5"W x 5"H | | Item Type Name | --- | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Kidde Safety | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 5 Year Limited | | Mfr Part Number | 21026053 | | Model Number | p9050 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Style | 6th Edition | | Sensor Type | Photoelectric | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 047871403783 | ## Images ![Kidde Smoke Detector, 9-Volt Battery Operated, Photoelectric Smoke Alarm, Battery Included - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41JL2VkJkuL.jpg) ![Kidde Smoke Detector, 9-Volt Battery Operated, Photoelectric Smoke Alarm, Battery Included - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lLd+jVVyL.jpg) ![Kidde Smoke Detector, 9-Volt Battery Operated, Photoelectric Smoke Alarm, Battery Included - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pUXYHLcNL.jpg) ![Kidde Smoke Detector, 9-Volt Battery Operated, Photoelectric Smoke Alarm, Battery Included - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JOXHMyZ0L.jpg) ![Kidde Smoke Detector, 9-Volt Battery Operated, Photoelectric Smoke Alarm, Battery Included - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717q+IyAkeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern Name, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: My alarm just started to go off.

The house rules dictated that there must be an alarm in the bedroom. So after a bit of YouTube research I learned that photoelectric alarms detect smoldering fires better and the ionization types are old tech. Hence my decision to get this one. A couple of weeks after installation, it blasted a false alarm. Well, I won't give it any demerits yet. I think it was just some dust floating by. I'll edit this review later if there are any changes in my thought. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value if it works when you need it to. *by on Reviewed in the United States March 24, 2023* Fairly straightforward install. Haven’t had it in service long enough to know whether it eats batteries or not , but I like the spring-loaded friction-fit battery terminals, as opposed to the old-school snap-tight terminals that lock on so tight, they break off the plastic mount when changing the battery.So far, this photo-electric smoke detector passes monthly test button pushes, and no false alarms.Heating with wood, I mounted it next to the 35 year-old ionizing smoke detector, and added a sensitive carbon monoxide monitor to cover all contingencies. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replace battery !!! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 24, 2022* Ever so easy to install as well as battery replacement. Long ago developed the habit of replacing detector batteries every year. This year my schedule was overlooked. So, 13 months after purchasing this particular type of unit, the factory-supplied 9v battery died (yes of course at 2 o'clock in the morning).FYI. Specifically acquired this photoelectric device to add another layer of smoke detection. Our home builder-installed ionization detectors. According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Assoc.) the photoelectric and ionization units, each respectively have the superior ability for either smoldering smoke fire or hot smoke fire detection. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/6958406-kidde-smoke-detector-9-volt-battery-operated-photoelectric-smoke-alarm](https://www.desertcart.us/products/6958406-kidde-smoke-detector-9-volt-battery-operated-photoelectric-smoke-alarm) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
