An emergency lighting system initiated by wireless or wired alarm signal of a smoke detector or other alarm device. Once alarm signal is received, the emergency lighting system will cause any light connected to the system to be turned on providing light for any persons present, or will pulse the light as a visual warning indicator to those present. The lighting system causes connected light(s) to pulse during a daytime light condition or when there is sufficient ambient light in the room. At night, or when the room is dark, the lighting system will turn on the light(s) to provide light for any persons present allowing a safer egress out of the building. The emergency lighting system is a device that can be installed in a light bulb socket or built in to a wall plate light switch. Also, the emergency lighting system could be built in to lighting fixtures by a manufacturer. |

1. A system comprising;
an R-2 switching component, wherein said R-2 switching component is configured to cut-off or provide current continuity to said lighting element, in which said R-2 switching comprises at least an R-2 switching line side and an R-2 switching load side, and in which said R-2 switching load side is configured to connect to at least one lighting fixture with an attached lighting element; a switch component, wherein said switch component is configured to be operable to turn said lighting element to on or off, and wherein said switch component comprises at least a switch load side coupled to said R-2 switching line side; a receiver component, said receiver component is configured to receive at least an emergency or alarm signal from an emergency or alarm alerting device, wherein said system is configured to initiate an alarm state condition upon receiving said emergency or alarm signal; a holding timer, wherein said holding timer is configured to provide power for a specific amount of time; a normally open contact component, said normally open contact component is coupled to said receiver component, wherein a receipt of said emergency or alarm signal is configured to close said normally open contact component, which in turn, provide current continuity to said holding timer; an R-2 switching component configured to pulse said lighting element; an R-2 energizer component, said R-2 energizer component is configured to energize said R-2 switching component; a pulse timer component, wherein said pulse timer component is configured to at least intermittently activate and de-activate said R-2 energizer component, in which said activation and de-activation of said R-2 energizer component is configured to pulse said R-2 switching component, thereby, pulsing said lighting element, wherein said pulsed lighting element is operable to provide a visual indicator of said alarm state condition; and a photo cell component, wherein said photo cell component is configured to detect a predetermined amount of ambient or day light condition, and in which said photo cell is further configured to activate said pulse timer to pulse said lighting element during said photo cell detecting said predetermined amount of ambient or day light condition. |
