ABSTRACT:
A floating light (1), having a base (2) which accommodates a light source or luminescing means; and a screen (3) which is connected thereto and which surrounds the light source. The screen has an inlet opening (4) for connection with the base (2) and an otherwise closed, preferably substantially spherical surface. The light has a seal in the contact area (6) between the screen and the base (2), preferably a sealing element or sealing ring (5), so that in the operational position, the sealed contact area (6) can be located beneath the surface (7) of a liquid in which the floating light is to float. In the operational position, at least one fixing element which extends below the surface (7) of the liquid and which can be or is anchored is located on the screen (3), enabling the floating light to be fixed in the liquid in a stationary position or with a small degree of mobility and ensuring that the contact area (6) is not strained when forces are exerted on the fixing element (8), as would be the case if the fixing element was attached to the base (2).
