Do smoke detectors come in colors?
Because even smoke detectors deserve to look fabulous. The company's new line of PX-1 smoke detectors come in an immense array of styles and colors -- including four glitzy models bedazzled with Swarovski crystals.18 Jun 2015
Why can you not paint smoke detectors?

Why are smoke detectors white?
Inside a basic ionization smoke detector. The black, round structure at the right is the ionization chamber. The white, round structure at the upper left is the piezoelectric horn that produces the alarm sound.
Do they make a black smoke detector?
The XP95 Optical Smoke Detector uses the light scatter principle to quickly and effectively detect a range of slow burning and smouldering fires.
Why are you not supposed to paint smoke detectors?
You should not paint your smoke alarm. Most smoke alarms come with a warning printed directly on them that says “do not paint.” Paint can restrict airflow and cause the alarm to have difficulty detecting a fire.5 Oct 2017

The type of smoke produced by a fire depends on the type of fire. Flaming fires produce a different type of smoke than smoldering fires.
What are the types of detectors?
There are two main types of detectors: photon detectors and thermal detectors. All detectors have similar characteristics: The output of a detector must respond to changes in the incident light intensity. The ability to respond is expressed by quantities such as responsivity, sensitivity, and dynamic range.
What color should the smoke detector be?
Mains powered smoke alarms are required to have a green “Power ON” LED indicator. This will light up when the alarm is connected to mains power. All smoke Alarms also have a red light that flashes momentarily every 40-60 seconds to visually indicate they are operating.
