Smoke detectors usually detect danger using two types of sensors, one is for fast burning flames and another one for smoldering fires. Ionization smoke detectors reply first to fast flaming fires. While, Photo electronic smoke alarms reply first to slow smoldering fires.

The photo electronic models are most fitted for living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens. This is because, these rooms frequently contain big pieces of furniture, like settees, chairs, mattresses, counter tops, etc.

These items  may burn slowly and create more smoldering smoke than flames. These alarms are also less susceptible to unintended alarms in the kitchen area than ionization smoke alarms.
