When an LED emergency power supply gets damp, it can pose serious risks to its functionality and safety. The first step is to immediately disconnect the power supply from any electrical source. This prevents potential short - circuits that could cause damage to the internal components or even start a fire. Do not attempt to turn on the device while it is damp.

　　Next, carefully remove the LED emergency power supply from its housing if possible. This allows for better access to all parts that may have been affected by moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any visible water droplets on the surface. For hard - to - reach areas, a dry, clean paintbrush can be used to remove moisture and any debris that may have accumulated along with the dampness.

　　After the initial surface drying, place the power supply in a well - ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use a hairdryer or other heating devices to dry it quickly, as excessive heat can damage the sensitive electronic components. Natural air - drying is the safest option. If the humidity in the surrounding environment is high, you can consider using a desiccant. Silica gel packets, which are commonly found in new electronic product packaging, can be placed near the power supply. They absorb moisture from the air, helping to speed up the drying process.

　　Once the power supply appears dry, it is advisable to test it with a multimeter to check for any abnormal electrical readings before reconnecting it to the power source. If the multimeter shows normal values, you can cautiously reconnect the LED emergency power supply to a low - voltage power source for a short period to see if it functions properly. However, if there are still signs of moisture, such as water stains or a musty smell, or if the multimeter readings are abnormal, it is best to contact a professional technician for further inspection and repair.
