First Alert Radon Detector
You can’t see it, smell it or taste it – but it is in your home and it can kill you. What is it? Radon – an invisible, odorless and poisonous gas that causes tens of thousands of deaths each year. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer (number one among non-smokers) in the United States and is responsible for approximately 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year. With the First Alert Radon Gas Test Kit, homeowners can put their minds at ease. Available for under $25 through most major retailers and hardware stores the kit comes with all the materials needed to test a home’s radon levels. It is safe and easy to use - just set it out for 24 hours and then mail the kit to the specified address for results.

germ GUARDIAN
There is now a new advanced weapon in the fight against airborne germs — the revolutionary Germ Guardian™. This portable, lightweight unit uses UV-C light technology to kill 99.9 percent of airborne germs, including influenza-A, staphylococcus and streptococcus. As air is pulled into the intensifier chamber, the UV-C ultraviolet light destroys 99.9 percent of the targeted airborne germs, and the sanitized air is circulated back into the room. The Germ Guardian does not require cleaning or filter replacement and consumes less energy than a standard light bulb.

Is the Oven On?
You will know the answer to this and other questions (like, “Did I turn off the curling iron?” and “Is the washer overflowing?”) when you use Eaton’s new Home Heartbeat™ system, which enables consumers to monitor and receive updates on a broad range of household devices and systems. With Home Heartbeat™, you will be alerted if there is a water leak or flooding. You’ll be aware of the status of doors and windows, appliances, maintenance schedules and the comings and goings of family members. Home Heartbeat™ allows you to avert emergencies and problems before they get out of control.

Lighting the way
Ever had trouble finding your front door keyhole in the dark? Now, there’s KeyLights™, key blanks with powerful LED lights built into the base. KeyLights™ make it convenient and easy to simultaneously operate a light and key with only one hand. It’s like having a mini-flashlight in each key to light up the path all the way to the door lock. KeyLights™ are hardly bigger than a standard-size house key and are available in retail chains such as ACE, True-Value, Do It Best and at locksmiths nationwide.

When Seconds Count
Studies show that two out of three children will sleep through the beeping of a traditional smoke alarm, but wake to the sound of a parent’s voice more than 96 percent of the time. The new Vocal Smoke Alarm from SignalONE Safety allows a family member to record his own voice and personal message to wake children from a deep sleep and instruct them to safety. Cornell University Professor of Psychology, Dr. James Maas, says it is well documented that hearing a familiar voice can help a child overcome panic in unfamiliar or traumatic situations. “There’s plenty of evidence that children are more likely to be aroused from sleep and tune in to messages delivered by a familiar voice rather than be aroused by and respond to the typical fire alarm signal,” he says.
