Abstract

A mains power socket which can be either switched or un-switched and which has embedded in the bottom of the socket light emitting diodes (LEDs) that illuminate when power to the socket is removed. The socket also comprises a circuit board behind the main fascia to assist the backup battery in providing illumination at times of power outages. The battery charges through circuitry using mains power when it is not required to provide electricity to the lighting, and then supplies power to the LEDs when mains electricity is cut to provide emergency lighting. The internal mounted circuit board is also provided with external power from the sockets 230vac power supply input terminals. The 3.7V rechargeable battery and emergency light emitting diodes operate in electric parallel connection with the circuit board.

Description

A power socket (1) with emergency light, comprising of a power socket front switched (1) or un switched with a circuit board behind the socket front, a rechargeable battery (3) and emergency light emitting diodes (2) embedded into the socket front. The internal mounted circuit board being provided with an external power from the sockets power supply input terminals, the rechargeable battery (3) and the emergency light emitting diodes (2) being in electric connection with the circuit board respectively; when the power line is connected to the socket, the emergency lights are in an off state, not illuminated; when the power line is disconnected from the external socket, MCB tripped or power cut, the emergency lights are in an on / lighted state. The power socket cover (1) has the function of emergency lighting as well as providing power supply to appliances, enabling the emergency lights to be powered and light up when the socket mains power supply is unexpectedly cut off.
Working voltage: 13A, 250V
Working temperature -15 to 40 C
UK 3 pin socket output: 13A, 250V
Fits any standard back box (minimum depth of 25mm)
The emergency lamp circuit charges the battery using the 230v AC electric line, when the 230VAC power is removed, the Light Emitting Diodes will illuminate automatically.
The battery used in this circuit is a 3.7v Li-ion battery 2000mAH. Charging current in this circuit is 50mA, which is acceptable for slow charging since this circuit is for emergency lighting.

Claims (1)

  1. Claim: A BS1363 socket with Light Emitting Diodes, circuit board and rechargeable battery, such that when the external power is removed from the BS1363 socket the light emitting diodes illuminate for a period of time.
