  • the scattering structure 6 scatters the light from respective points on the light exit surface 4 in an area of approximately 180° away from the light exit surface 4 measured in the image plane of FIG Figure 2b (ie same plane as the azimuthal angle).
  • the profile lens rod 7 and thus the lens device 2 are in turn designed so that they can be removed from the mold immediately.
  • Figure 3a shows an advantageous embodiment of the light signaling device 11 with the housing 1 with printed circuit board elements 9 accommodated in a view obliquely from below
  • Figure 3b the associated lens device in detail from diagonally below
  • 3c the embodiment from below
  • 3d the embodiment in a view in section FF in 3c
  • the lateral surface 3 of the housing 1 is cylindrical and has a light exit surface 4 that encompasses the entire circumference and part of the height and has a diffusing structure 6 , the lateral surface 3 being delimited at the top essentially by the top surface 5
  • the lens device 2 is also essentially cylindrical, with the lens device 2 having six grooves 8 in each of which a printed circuit board element 9 is accommodated.
  • Each printed circuit board element 9 has three light-emitting elements (not shown), which are each arranged on a line parallel to the direction in which the lateral surface 3 extends in height, with the grooves 8 for receiving the printed circuit boards 9 each having further grooves 8 for receiving the light-emitting elements arranged in a line.
  • the lens device 2 has a lens cap 10 assigned to each light-emitting element.
  • the lens caps 10 can, for example, be shaped in such a way that the light emitted by a lighting element (or a row of lighting elements arranged in a line) radiates into adjacent azimuthal angular ranges of 60° (e.g. when used as a virtual rotating light) or overlapping angular ranges of 180° bundled and equalized becomes.
  • the lens caps 10 bundle the emitted light in a polar angular range, which is, for example, an angular range of a few degrees, for example 15 degrees, above and a few degrees, for example 15 degrees, below the image plane in 3c can be.
  • the polar angle range can also be between the image plane or a few degrees, e.g. 5 degrees, below the image plane in 3c and a few degrees, for example 35 degrees, below.
