Description

Embodiments described herein relate generally to a lighting device and a lighting system.

  Disaster prevention light sources such as emergency lights and guide lights are installed in passages and rooms of buildings, for example. When a commercial power supply fails due to a fire or an earthquake, the light source is turned on to enable smooth evacuation. In other words, the disaster prevention light source normally turns on the light source with a commercial power source and charges the battery of the battery circuit, and when the commercial power source fails, the power source is supplied from the battery circuit to the lighting device so that the light source is turned on very much. .

  According to the Fire Service Act, the disaster prevention light source is obliged to perform periodic inspections to confirm that the light source is lit up for a certain period of time when the supply from the commercial power supply is interrupted. In addition to being restricted for a certain time for each device, the inspection date and time and the result must be recorded, and there is a problem that the labor required for work increases.

In addition, for example, emergency lighting devices such as emergency lights have recommended replacement guidelines several years after installation in order to maintain safety and ensure accurate operation. In order to confirm the recommended replacement standard, the installer has entered the date of installation on the main body of the lighting device with a seal or the like when the lighting device is installed. However, it is not easy to confirm the date on the main body of a disaster prevention lighting device that is often installed on a high surface such as a ceiling surface. In facilities equipped with a large number of disaster prevention lighting devices, It also took a lot of effort to manage the recommended replacement guidelines.
