If I were you I would switch them to full battery operated detectors which would be the safest be. When the batteries need to be changed, the detector will let out an annoying beep around every five minutes to make sure you do so.

The battery being old and inadequate was what made it beep every minute or so. When the lights came on, it more than likely tripped a relay in the smoke detector. More than likely.
