Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for systems and methods that employ a control component and/or power source integrated in an LED based light source to control and/or power the LED light source wirelessly. In embodiments, the LED based light source may take the form of a standard light bulb that plugs into a standard lighting socket or fixture.

21. A power module for providing power to an electrical circuit that includes at least one light source, comprising:
-
an alternating current (AC) power input configured to receive AC power for supplying to the electrical circuit and powering the at least one light source; a receiver configured to receive a power outage indication signal from a power outage detection unit located remotely from the power module; a battery; an inverter circuit configured to convert direct current (DC) power from the battery to AC power for powering the at least one light source; and a controller configured to; selectively control application of AC power from the AC power input to the electrical circuit; and selectively control application of AC power from the inverter circuit to the electrical circuit based on the power outage indication signal. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A power adapter, comprising:
-
an Edison socket interface configured to supply alternating current (AC) power to a light source connected to the Edison socket interface; an Edison base interface configured to receive AC power for providing to at least one of an electrical circuit in electrical communication with at least one light source or the Edison socket interface; a battery; a receiver configured to receive an AC power loss signal provided by a power outage detection unit located remotely from the power adapter; an inverter circuit configured to convert direct current (DC) power from the battery to AC power for powering one or more of the at least one light source or the light source connected to the Edison socket interface; and a controller configured to; selectively control application of AC power from the Edison base interface to one or more of the at least one light source or the Edison socket interface; and selectively control application of AC power from the inverter circuit to one or more of the at least one light source or the Edison socket interface based on the AC power loss signal. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. An emergency lighting system configured to provide power to at least one light source, the emergency lighting system comprising:
-
a power outage detection unit including an interface configured for removable insertion into a wall outlet, the power outage detection unit being configured to monitor the presence of AC power at the wall outlet and to generate a power outage indication signal in the absence of AC power at the wall outlet; and a power module including; an alternating current (AC) power input configured to receive AC power for supplying to an electrical circuit and powering the at least one light source; a battery; an inverter circuit configured to convert direct current (DC) power from the battery to AC power for powering the at least one light source; and a controller configured to; selectively control application of AC power from the AC power input to the electrical circuit; and selectively control application of AC power from the inverter circuit to the electrical circuit based on the power outage indication signal. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41)
