Discover the Ghost Alarm
About Ghost Alarm
In today’s housing market, design matters as much as safety—but traditional smoke detectors haven’t kept up. Bulky and outdated, they disrupt clean ceilings and modern interiors.
Ghost Alarm redefines safety with a seamless smoke and carbon monoxide detector integrated into a recessed lighting system. Designed to fit a standard 4-inch pot light, it blends effortlessly into any space, allowing homeowners and designers to match existing lighting styles without compromise.
The result is a safety device that becomes part of the architecture—minimal, elegant, and virtually invisible.
Beyond aesthetics, Ghost Alarm is purpose-built. In an alarm state, a drop-down mechanism enhances visibility, ensuring alerts are both seen and heard. It also offers flexibility with a clean, blank-face option for spaces without lighting.
With a mechanically separate lighting system, Ghost Alarm maintains electrical integrity, simplifies servicing, and keeps lighting fully functional at all times.
Engineered to meet Canadian and U.S. safety standards, Ghost Alarm is designed from the ground up with certification in mind.

Installation
Important: Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with all applicable local electrical and fire safety codes.
-
Turn off power at the main electrical panel and confirm it is off.
-
Choose location and cut a ceiling opening (~7 inches), ensuring proper clearance above.
-
Prepare wiring by bringing in power for the alarm and pot light (if used).
-
Connect wires to the labeled terminals, keeping alarm and lighting circuits separate.
-
Mount the unit by inserting it into the ceiling and tightening the clamps until secure and flush.
-
Connect pot light (if applicable) using the built-in wiring whip and secure the junction box safely in the ceiling cavity.
-
Install cover and light to complete the ceiling finish.
-
Restore power and test the system to confirm sound, light, and visual alert all function correctly.
Certification and Regulations
Ghost Alarm is being engineered to meet Canadian and North American life safety standards from inception, positioning the product for legal installation, contractor adoption, and retail distribution.
The unit will be evaluated through CSA Group certification and provincial approval through the Electrical Safety Authority, with testing aligned to UL Solutions standards including UL 217 (smoke alarms) and UL 2034 (carbon monoxide alarms).
Certification testing includes controlled smoke chamber validation, carbon monoxide exposure curve testing, audible output verification (85 dBA minimum), strobe flash compliance, thermal and surge protection analysis, battery endurance verification, firmware fail-safe review, and mechanical reliability testing of the drop-down alarm mechanism.
The formal submission process includes engineering file review, laboratory evaluation of sample units, compliance testing, corrective revisions if required, and production audit authorization. Typical certification timelines range from four to eight months.
Achieving CSA/UL certification creates a meaningful barrier to entry, establishes regulatory defensibility, and unlocks contractor, builder, and distributor channels across Canada. This milestone represents a critical value inflection point for Ghost Supply as the company transitions from prototype to approved life safety manufacturer.
