In a way it could be Gloria. It's a very technical piece of kit and is involved in triggering a signal. I have never come across one. I don't think they ever became common.

A guess, a smoke alarm where a light beam is obscured enough for the light focus to drop on a heat sensitive switch setting off the alarm.
