Abstract

A lighting device including: a power management module connected with and processing alternating-current power and outputting direct-current power; a light source driving module receiving and processing a portion of the direct-current power and outputting a light source driving signal; a first lighting unit receiving the light source driving signal and illuminating a light source; a sensing unit sensing the light source driving signal intensity; a lighting module receiving a portion of the direct-current power output by the power management module, processing the received direct-current power, outputting a direct-current power signal, storing the direct-current power signal through a power storage control function, processing the stored direct-current power signal by means of a power storage control unit whenever the sensing unit senses that the light source driving module does not output the light source driving signal, and outputting a lighting light source driving signal to a second lighting unit for illuminating a light source.
