Abstract

The invention is a submersible lighting device, having a substantially water-tight enclosure, and a plurality of lighting elements at the top of that enclosure. A beam of light projecting from at least some of the lighting elements is upwardly disposed from that lighting device, at an angle from the vertical.

Claims

1. A submersible lighting device, comprising:

(a) a substantially water-tight enclosure; and

;

(b) a plurality of lighting elements at the top of that enclosure, wherein a beam of light projecting from at least some of the lighting elements is upwardly disposed from that lighting device at an angle from the vertical.

2. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a removable weight disposed within the substantially water-tight enclosure.

3. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a battery.

4. The submersible lighting device of claim 3, wherein the battery is rechargeable.

5. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, wherein the lighting elements are light-emitting diodes.

6. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, wherein the lighting elements are contained within a generally hemispherical dome.

7. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, wherein the substantially water-tight enclosure includes a generally flat bottom.

8. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a first eyelet at the top of the enclosure.

9. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a second eyelet at the bottom of the enclosure.

10. The submersible lighting device of claim 8, further comprising a second eyelet at the bottom of the enclosure.

11. The submersible lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a lens ring covering the generally hemispherical dome.
