A smoke detector that only works during daytime hours

Does your smoke detector only work during daytime hours? Does your link to emergency help only work during daytime hours? You may want to check this out.

Having a non-reflective address sign on your house, mailbox, or in your yard is like having a smoke detector that only works during daytime hours. If your address sign is not highly visible and cannot be seen and read from hundreds of feet, you are putting your family at unnecessary risk.

The chances are higher that something bad will happen during the night requiring emergency assistance. You WILL want your address number reflecting like a beacon in the night when the emergency respond units are looking for you. Nice looking cast aluminum address plaques may be a nice decoration, but they are almost worthless in an emergency. So-called solar signs are more of a gimmick than a real solution. If the sun is out and the battery is fully charged, a solar sign will probably stay dimly lit until 3:00am. Eventually, though, the battery fails. A solar sign is almost worthless because, even with its dim lighting, it can not be seen or read from much distance. It is just a part time sign offering little real protection.
