In addition, the lenticular cover 8 is formed of a transparent concave lens having a large curvature radius (slow curved surface) compared to the diameter so that the refractive index is increased toward the edge, so that the lens cover 8 is located at the bottom even in sunrise or sunset light (sunset). Refractive incidence is made into the solar cell 12.

In the present invention, when the case 4 and the lenticular cover 8 are molded, a reinforced synthetic resin or tempered glass having excellent light transmission is used, but in the case of the reinforced synthetic resin, a UV-blocking agent is mixed to sufficiently endure even in bad weather conditions of the sea. It has chemical properties (especially salt), durability and strength.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the flashing light emitting means is positioned at the center portion of the case 4, and the use device uses a plurality of light emitting diodes 36 of low power consumption and high light emission and high brightness.

In addition, reflecting the blinking light in consideration of the fact that the case 4 has a cylindrical shape, the reflectors 10 and 11 are formed in a conical shape with a hollow inside as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to the light emitting diodes 36. The flashing light emitted is reflected in all directions, and since the light emitting diodes 36 are located in the middle of the case 4, the reflectors 10 and 11 have upper and lower structures around the light emitting diodes 36. .

The reflective surfaces are formed on the surfaces of the reflectors 10 and 11 by plating chromium or vacuum evaporating aluminum to allow almost all of the blinking light to pass through the case 4.
