  • Patent number: 6986589
    Abstract: The present invention includes an emergency lighting device comprising, at least one light emitting diode (LED), a local energy source such as a lithium ion battery, a control circuit in electric communication with the at least one LED and further sensing a main power supply, and a reflector for broadcasting light produced by the LED to designated areas. In particular, the present invention transforms existing fluorescent, incandescent or halogen light fixtures into emergency lighting systems for homes, hospitals, hotels, nursing homes and businesses.
