    My parents have a smoke detector which blinks a red LED every ten minutes or so. It’s also placed in the hallway between my room and the toilet. Because that hallway is quite short and a little bit of light still came out of my room, I eventually started just not turning on the lights in the hallway, to kind of preserve the sleepiness.

    Well, eventually I walked down that hallway in darkness and was right in front of the smoke detector when it decided to blink, shortly tinting everything around me faintly red. Fucking hell, that spooked me…

      That mean the smoke detector need to be tested. Push the button for testing and the light, after, will be a hard green, no flashling.
