A lighting apparatus includes a control circuit, a light source, a reset sensor and a reset circuit. The control circuit operates according to a default setting when the control circuit is started. The light source is controlled by the control circuit. The reset sensor detects a status variation. The status variation is caused by an external device outside the lighting apparatus. The reset circuit is coupled to the reset sensor for generating a reset signal to the control circuit to reset the control circuit when the status variation satisfies a predetermined triggering condition.
