Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a modular LED lighting unit, comprising a first module ( 1 ) to which an AC supply voltage ( 9 ) can be supplied and which comprises: a second sub-module (B), at the output of which a DC supply voltage ( 5 ) is provided, which is galvanically isolated from the supply voltage, and a control unit (G), further comprising a second module ( 2 ), preferably a lamp management module, which comprises a further sub-module (C) supplied with the DC supply voltage ( 5 ) of the first module ( 1 ), preferably a constant current source, which is controlled by a control unit (E) of the second module ( 2 ), an LED module (F) which has at least one LED range ( 8 ) and is supplied by the further sub-module (C), and an emergency light operating circuit which is connected to a rechargeable energy store (ES); and takes over powering the modular LED lighting unit in the event of failure of the AC supply voltage ( 9 ).

First claim
