An emergency lighting device for controlling a lighting means includes an energy store, such as a battery or an accumulator, a charging circuit for the energy store having connections for an AC voltage (alternating voltage), the charging circuit has a potential isolation element, a potentially isolated clocked converter supplied from the energy store and having a switch, preferably a flyback converter. The converter can be supplied only by the energy store, a control circuit for controlling the switch, and a supply path from the secondary side of the converter to connections for the lighting means.

Emergency lighting device

An integrated control circuit (SE) and method for operating luminaries are provided. The integrated control circuit has at least one output for supplying a signal controlling a switch, such as a transistor, in an operating circuit (OM), in particular controlling directly or indirectly a dimming level of the luminaries, and a common input (Ts) arranged for being supplied with a combination of a temperature indicating signal and a presence indicating signal, the integrated control circuit (SE) being designed to adjust a switch control signal as a function of the electrical signal (ES) at the common input (Ts).
