Abstract:
1. A position lamp for watercraft or for placing ashore, comprising: (a) a plurality of light sources that emit light in at least two different directions, with at least one of the plurality of light sources per each of the at least two different directions, (b) a plurality of dedicated optically refractive elements, with one of the dedicated optically refractive elements provided per each of the light sources, wherein light emitted from each of the light sources passes through a respective one of the dedicated optically refractive elements, (c) a common housing body, the common housing body accommodating the light sources and the dedicated optically refractive elements, and (d) a plurality of dedicated support surfaces, with one of the dedicated support surfaces provided for each of the dedicated optically refractive elements, wherein the dedicated support surfaces are arranged on the common housing body at an angle to one another and the dedicated support surfaces each have a recess or depression located approximately in the middle of the dedicated support surfaces, wherein the common housing body has a cross-section that is substantially in the shape of an isosceles triangle having three of the dedicated support surfaces angled away from one another, with each of the three support surfaces being assigned one of the dedicated optically refractive elements and one of the light sources.
