By the way, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, only a rectangular block-shaped ceremony light emitter that sinks in water is shown as a specific example, and description of the appearance shape of the ceremony light emitter floating on the water and the posture when it floats. There is no. Therefore, even if the ceremony light emitter has a characteristic appearance shape, the characteristic appearance shape does not always appear on the water, and it can be said that light effects using the characteristic appearance shape can be provided. I couldn't cut it.
On the other hand, in recent years, at wedding receptions at hotels with pools, there are many attractions where attendees raise their brides and grooms and throw them into the pool. This is what is desired.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and maintains an airtight container floating on a conductive liquid in a predetermined posture, thereby making it possible to make use of an external shape that appears on the liquid. An object is to provide a light emitter for a ceremony that can produce an effect.

  To achieve the above object, a ceremony light emitter according to the present invention includes a light-transmitting sealed container, a light-emitting body that is contained in the sealed container and emits light when energized, and supplies power to the light-emitting body.

A mounting hole 10 </ b> A that is recessed upward is formed at the center of the upper surface of the storage box 10. A vertically long spherical light emitter 17 is inserted into the mounting hole 10A.

  The light emitter 17 includes, for example, three light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit light when energized in the tube. In this embodiment, for example, an LED 17A that emits blue light, an LED 17B that emits green light, and an LED 17C that emits red light are used. The battery 20 that supplies power to the LED of the light emitter 17 is composed of, for example, a lithium primary button battery, and has an average output voltage of about 1.5 volts (200 mAh). In this embodiment, for example, two batteries 20 and 20 are connected in series and used. The accumulated lighting time from the start of lighting to the turn-off is approximately 10 to 14 hours and can be used for several occasions. Therefore, the capacity of the batteries 20 and 20 does not cause any practical problems. A current limiting resistor provided on the circuit board 16 is interposed between the LEDs 17A, 17B, and 17C and the batteries 20 and 20.
