A remote control circuit includes a rectifying filter circuit coupled to an alternating current (AC) power source, a power supply module connected to the rectifying filter circuit; a leakage energy collecting circuit connected to the rectifying filter circuit; a remote control signal receiving circuit connected to the leakage energy collecting circuit; and a switch circuit connected to the remote control signal receiving circuit and the power supply module. When the remote control signal receiving circuit receives a remote power on signal, the remote control signal receiving circuit outputs a first signal to the switch circuit, and the switch circuit switches on the power supply module. When the remote control signal receiving circuit receives a remote power off signal, the remote control signal receiving circuit outputs a second signal to the switch circuit, the switch circuit switches off the power supply module.
