- the lighting means is arranged in the region of the upper part of the housing of the lighting unit, in particular centrally in the interior of the upper part.
- the upper part of the housing of the lighting unit is translucent, preferably transparent, formed.
- materials for the transparent education of the Upper parts of the housing are, for example, plastics such as polyethylene or polycarbonate, or other transparent materials such as glasses or glass composites. Due to the transparent construction of the upper part of the housing, the light emitted by the illuminant inside can be released freely into the surroundings of the luminous unit.
- the housing preferably has a seal between the upper part and the lower part, which may be formed, for example, as a sealing ring.
- the seal can serve to seal the receptacle in the float by the housing used in the housing of the light unit, so that no liquid can penetrate into the receptacle.

- the switching element is preferably able to activate or deactivate the luminous means of the luminous unit depending on the inclination.
- the light signal is automatically turned on in the floating or upright state by the switching element, while it is stored in the standby state aboard a ship turned upside down, so that the switching element switches off the light source.
- the switching element may be formed as a tilt switch, which are particularly suitable for this purpose mercury switch, magnetic switch or the like.
- a mercury switch is a reliable switching element.
- a magnetic switch can preferably be used, for example, a reed contact, which is switchable by means of a magnet.
- Other, for example, with Hall sensors or similar working, electronic switching elements are conceivable.
- the switching element can be activated or deactivated by a movable switching means.
- a movable switching means for example, a magnet is conceivable, which is brought into the vicinity of a switching element, such as a magnetic switch, and thus turns on the switching element and shuts off at sufficient distance from the same.
- a reliable tilt switch with simple components is easy to produce, in which the switching means, for example, due to gravity away from the switching element or approaches this.
- the switching means can be movably arranged in a tube, so that the switching means can only move along a predetermined path or in a predetermined spatial area.

- a fluid medium such as a viscous liquid or a gas
- the tube can preferably either be arranged fixedly in the interior of the housing or be insertable into at least one recess, which is freely accessible from the outside and at least watertight, of the housing.
- a fixed arrangement inside the housing allows a compact and maintenance-free construction of the lighting unit in the housing.
- the tube can be inserted from the outside into the recess of the housing, it can be removed from the housing, for example for transport purposes, in order to prevent unintentional switching on.
- the housing preferably has at least two recesses, wherein the switching element is switchable only in arrangement of the tube in one of the recesses by the switching means. Due to the fact that the switching means in the tube in the arrangement of the tube in at least one of the recess is not able to activate the switching element, these at least two recesses cause a reliable transport lock against unintentional switching on of the lamp, wherein the switching means at or in the lighting unit can remain.

- the corresponding design of the scattering lens made of a transparent material gives a good light output without strong absorption losses in the material. At the same time a small size of the lens is achieved by a high refractive index of the material used.
- the scattering lens has in its interior a recess for receiving the at least one light-emitting diode, wherein the recess is in particular formed in a form-fitting manner to the housing of the respective light-emitting diode or for optimizing the light scattering. Due to the arrangement of the light emitting diode in the interior of the scattering lens, an adaptation of the scattering lens to the light output of the light emitting diode is possible.
- the scattering lens is substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the main emission direction of the light-emitting diode, so that a uniform scattering of the light emitted by the light-emitting diode into the space surrounding the light-emitting diode is made possible.
- the scattering lens scatters at least part of the light emitted by the light-emitting diode into a substantially at least hemispherical area as uniformly as possible.
- the at least hemispherical spatial region is thus substantially homogeneously illuminable. This illumination, which is as homogeneous as possible with a sufficient light intensity, complies with the applicable maritime regulations, in particular SOLAS.

- one or more light units 24 are arranged in the upper region of the light signal 20.
- the Fig. 1 is the only light unit 24 on the longitudinal central axis 26 of the float 22.
- the buoy 22 are associated with two light units 24, wherein between the two light units 24 on the longitudinal central axis 26 is still a smoke detector 28 is arranged.
- a line 36 attached to the rescue means 34 can furthermore be fastened to the floating body 22 by means of a fastening means 38, such as an eyelet or a hook ( Fig. 1 ).
- a receptacle 40 is formed for each of the light signal 20 associated lighting unit 24, which is sealed against the float 22 so that no liquid can penetrate through the interior of the float 22 through them.
- a screw thread 42 is provided for fastening the light unit 24, which corresponds to a corresponding screw thread 44 of the light unit 24, so that the latter can be inserted into the receptacle 40 and screwed into it.
- a sealing ring 46 is arranged on the light unit 24, which comes when screwing the light unit 24 in the receptacle 40 with this in contact and thereby by positive or ., clamping concerns fulfilled a safety or sealing effect.
- the housing 48 of the lighting unit 24 is divided into several areas.
- An upper dome part 50 preferably projects out of the receptacle 40 of the float 22 and has a substantially hemispherical shape.
- the lower part of the housing 48 is formed by a foot part 52, which is completely within the receptacle 40 when mounted in the receptacle 40 light unit 24. In the upper part of this foot 52, the sealing ring 46 and the screw 44 are arranged.
- the housing 48 which is hermetically sealed, is composed of several components. For example, these may be two halves of the housing 48, as in FIG Fig. 4 is shown. An upper half, which includes the dome part 50, and a lower half with a part of the foot part 52 are permanently and tightly connected to each other by a weld 54, for example a friction welding or high-frequency welding.
- a weld 54 for example a friction welding or high-frequency welding.
- the lighting unit 24, as shown for example in Fig. 7 is shown, such a connection can be arranged in the form of a weld 54 but also in the region between dome part 50 and foot 52.
- a composition of more than two parts is conceivable, as well as other types of connections, such as gluing or similar, can be used.
- a serving as a light source LED 56 is located in the interior of the dome part 50.
- a serving as a light source LED 56 is located in the interior of the dome part 50.
- the relatively directed light output of the light emitting diode 56 at an angle of typically 100 ° to 140 ° in a solid angle range of at least 180 °, ie a hemispherical region is the light emitting portion of the light emitting diode 56 around a scattering lens 58 arranged.
- the diffuser lens 58 which is made of a transparent or translucent material such as polycarbonate, is able to scatter the light emitted by the light emitting diode 56 substantially homogeneously at least in all directions of the hemispherical portion of the dome portion 50.
- the scattering lens 58 has a lens body 84 which is made of transparent, clear material, in this case made of polycarbonate. In the interior of this lens body 84, a cavity 86 is recessed, in which the light-emitting diode 56 can be used. The cavity 86 has a parabolic shape in section. The outer contour 88 of the lens body 84, however, has a serrated appearance in longitudinal section. Since the scattering lens 58 is constructed substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to its longitudinal center axis 90, a construction of the lens body 84 accordingly results according to type a Fresnel lens, such as in the Fig. 11 and 12 can be seen. On the outer circumference of the scattering lens 58 circumferential, prism-like formations are arranged.
- the light-emitting diode 56 is arranged on a horizontally arranged circuit board 60, which is connected to a vertical circuit board 62, on which a battery 64 and a reed contact 66 are attached.
- the light-emitting diode 56, the battery 64 and the reed contact 66 are so electrically connected by means of conductors or wires that the light emitting diode 56 is supplied with the reed contact 66 of the battery 64 with electric current.
- the reed contact 66 can be switched on by a magnet 70 movably arranged in a tube 68 when the magnet 70 is located in the vicinity of the reed contact 66.
- the tube 68 is filled with a damping fluid 72 for damping rapid movements of the magnet 70. In order to prevent leakage of the damping fluid 72 and at the same time penetration of gases or liquids, the tube 68 is sealed at its open end with a plug 74.
- a first embodiment of the lighting unit 24 according to the invention is in the Fig. 4 to Fig. 6 described in more detail below.
- two externally accessible recesses 76 and 78 are formed in the housing 48, the opening of which is located in the bottom region of the foot part 52 of the housing 48.
- the tube 68 is in each case completely usable.
- the recesses 76 and 78 are dense, so that through this no water can get into the float 22.
- the recess 76 is located near the reed contact 66 so that when the magnet 70 is at an end of the tube 68 closest to the reed contact 66, it can turn on and when the magnet 70 is at the other end of the tube 68 is located, the reed contact 66 is not switched on. If the tube 68 is arranged with the magnet 70 in the second recess 78, the magnet 70 is in any possible position within the tube 68 to far from the reed contact 66, so that the magnet 70 can not turn on the latter even when the light signal 20 is in the floating position. Thus, a simple and effective safeguard against unintentional switching on, as is necessary, for example, for transport and storage purposes, by repositioning the tube 68.
- the magnet 70 Due to the downward force of gravity, the magnet 70 is located in the lower region of the tube 68, as can be seen in the figures. In this position, the magnet 70 is closest to the reed contact 66 so that it can turn on. If now the lighting unit 24 together with the tube 68, for example rotated by more than 90 °, for example rotated by 180 ° upside down, the magnet 70 moves by gravity to the opposite end of the tube 68 and thus moves away from the reed contact 66th so that the magnet 70 can not turn it on due to the greater distance to the reed contact 66. An overhead storage of the light unit 24, even if it is mounted in the float 22, thus ensures a shutdown of the light unit 24.
- the float 22 rotates in his substantially upright position.
- the light unit 24 is also in the depicted upright position so that the magnet 70 moves to the lower end of the tube 68 and, as described above, turns on the reed contact 66 to activate the light emitting diode 56.
- FIG. 7 to 11 An alternative embodiment of the invention show the Fig. 7 to 11 , in these, the tube 68 with the magnet 70 is fixedly arranged in the interior of the housing 48 of the light unit 24, so that here too the magnet 70 can switch on the reed contact 66 at one end of the tube 68 and the light-emitting diode 56 is switched off at the other end of the tube 68 becomes.
- an externally accessible, but sealed pin receptacle 80 is formed in the housing 48, in which a locking pin 82 can be used in this embodiment.
- This locking pin 82 is located within the pin receptacle 80 between the reed contact 66 and tube 68, so that the locking pin 82, which is made of magnetic material, the magnetic field of the magnet 70 against the reed contact 66 shields, so that the magnet 70 now in no position within of the tube 68 can turn on the reed contact 66.
- the locking pin 82 which is inserted into the pin receptacle 80 projects beyond the edge of the housing 48, so that it can be easily removed for a and by appropriate design of the corresponding receptacle 40 in the float 22 insertion of the light unit 24 in the recording 40 prevented.
- the locking pin 82 must first be removed prior to installation of the light unit 24 in the float 22 to bring the light unit 24 in an activatable state.
- the invention described above is not limited to the embodiments shown, so that other embodiments are conceivable.
- the light unit 24 can be used for any differently designed float 22.
