What is better LEDs or strobe lights?
That comes down to either personal preference or the type of job you want it to perform. Take emergency services (police, fire, ems) for example: they started out with rotating halogen lights and progressed to strobe lights in the 90's. The newest generation of emergency vehicles, however, come equipped with LED emergency lights because they pack more of a punch. They are visible from farther away, draw less power, and can flash just as fast as a strobe.
Is it required to have a fire alarm panel?
Only if your building is required to have an interconnected fire alarm system. Your local and state fire codes and building codes will determine what kind of alarm system is required, if any. Many single or two-family dwellings are allowed to have individual smoke alarms that are not connected to an alarm panel, but they only give local audible/visual alarm. An alarm panel allows the system to call automatically for help, when necessary. When you have one connected in a building it will supply power to the smoke detectors and the rest of the fire alarm system and may indicate where the fire has been detected. This information can be relayed to the dispatchers, allowing the fire officer/brigade to find the source of the alarm quickly and attend to the cause.
Are fire alarms and smoke detectors the same thing?
The terms can sometimes mean the same thing: a self-contained smoke detector with a built-in fire alarm.However, they are technically different and can be obtained in many types.A fire alarm SYSTEM can contain smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations and other sensors related to fire protection, including switches that say the fire sprinklers or the commercial kitchen fire extinguisher has activated. All of these sensors and switches are wired to a fire alarm control panel that monitors them constantly for electrical trouble or for alarm conditions, relaying the alarm message to bells, sirens, strobe lights and maybe even calling the fire department.Most people say "smoke detector" when they mean "self-contained smoke alarm". The smoke alarm does not usually connect to anything other than maybe another smoke alarm or two, so they all make noise when there is a fire, but someone still has to remember to call the fire department.
When are isolators required in a fire alarm system?

How do you turn off a fire sprinkler tamper alarm?
First you locate the source of the alarm, undo the condition (e.g., valve closed, inadequate pressure, etc), then reset the alarm condition on the sprinkler control panel and reset the alarm on the fire alarm control panel (assuming they're connected, as required by many fire codes).
