Abstract
A controller for controlling a battery-powered luminaire in a lighting network comprises: a network interface for communicating with the lighting network; and control logic for controlling at least one illumination source of the battery-powered luminaire; wherein the control logic is configured to: detect a failure of at least one mains-powered luminaire in the lighting network, determine that the mains-powered luminaire was emitting or had been instructed to emit a visual alert when the failure occurred, and control the at least one illumination source of the battery-powered luminaire to emit a version of that visual alert in response, the failure being detected based on a loss of communication, within the lighting network, with the mains-powered luminaire.
