The present disclosure relates to an emergency lighting circuit, a control method thereof and an emergency lighting system. Normal lighting is monitored by detecting whether a charging management apparatus in the emergency lighting circuit has electric energy input. When the charging management apparatus has no electric energy input, emergency lighting may be started, and power transmitted to load lighting equipment is switched to an emergency battery apparatus through a power supply switching apparatus, which is processed by a boost inverter to provide appropriate electric energy for the load lighting equipment. A power detection apparatus detects an input-terminal power signal of the boost inverter, and regulates power of the load lighting equipment based on the input-terminal power signal. Operating power of the load lighting equipment is regulated based on the input-terminal power signal of the boost inverter. An input-terminal voltage of the boost inverter is a DC low voltage and easy to detect. Moreover, in the solution, high voltage and current are not required to be isolated for power detection, which effectively reduces detection costs and is highly reliable in power detection.

The present invention discloses a safety devices adapted to prevent workers from going into hazardous environment, such as underground using the faulty safety device. As a safety device, typically embodied as a cap lamp, must be charged prior to each use, the device is adapted to detect when the device is removed from the charger. The device starts to blink continuously when disconnected from the charger. An automated test procedure is completed on the device. The user may also complete a manual portion of the test procedure to make the device usable. When the test procedure is completed successfully, the lamp stops blinking. If the test procedure is not successful, the lamp continues blinking to effectively prevent user from using a faulty device.

The present invention relates to a converter unit for providing a supply current to a load device (2) using an energy storage device (6). The converter unit (1) comprises a controlling means (7) configured to set at least one charging parameter and/or a charging mode and to control charging of the energy storage device (6) based on the set charging parameter and/or the set charging mode; and at least a first terminal (S1), a second terminal (S2) and a third terminal (S3) for electrically connecting a two-pole status indicator light (8), to wherein the controlling means (7) is configured to detect to which of the first terminal (S1), the second terminal (S2) and the third terminal (S3) the two-pole status indicator light (8) is connected and is configured to set the at least one charging parameter and/or the charging mode based on the detection result.

A lighting control system includes a control group including a plurality of member devices which includes a power monitor and an emergency luminaire. The power monitor includes a power supply driven by a normal power source. The power monitor implements the following function. Transmit, via a wireless lighting control network, a normal power active message to the control group repeatedly at a predetermined time interval. The emergency luminaire includes an emergency light source to continuously emit illumination lighting during an emergency, and a power supply driven by an emergency power line. The emergency luminaire implements the following functions. Track an active message gap time. Reset the active message gap time after receiving the normal power active message. In response to the tracked active message gap time exceeding an active message timeout, enter an emergency mode active state by controlling the emergency light source to continuously emit the illumination lighting.

An electronic device and a method of a power supply protection for a connection port are provided. The electronic device includes a first connection port with a first switch and a first controller and a first control circuit. The first controller determines a first preset value according to a state of the first switch activation signal correspondingly, and detects whether the first input voltage of the first connection port is greater than the first preset value. When the first input voltage is greater than the first preset value, the first controller enables a first abnormal signal on the first abnormal state detection pin. In response to a first forced closing signal being enabled, the first controller controls the first switch to disconnect both terminals.
