Claim 3:
4. An input apparatus adaptive to be equipped in an underwater light including a light source and a main switch, the input apparatus comprising:
a sensor electrode arranged so as to allow a user wearing equipment to touch the sensor electrode;
a capacitance sensor structured to detect an electrostatic capacitance formed by the sensor electrode; and
a processing unit structured such that, when the electrostatic capacitance detected by the capacitance sensor decreases as compared with a non-touch state, judgment is made that a touch input by the user has occurred,
wherein a result of the judgement made by the processing unit is used, in combination with the status of the main switch, for controlling on/off state of the light source.
