Abstract

The invention comprises a submersible solar lighting source, which incorporates photovoltaic panels, batteries, a lighting system and control in one and the same sealed, thin planar unit that allows illumination of the swimming pool during the night, and which has a slim design such that it can be adhered or fastened to the wall, steps or bottom of the swimming pool, allowing convenient wiring-free installation that does not interfere with the use of the pool.

Claims

1-6. -6. (canceled)

7. A submersible solar lighting system characterised in that it incorporates a battery charging system via photovoltaic solar panels, batteries and a lighting system with an automatic activation control circuit in one and the same sealed, thin planar unit that allows illumination during the night, and which has a slim design such that it can be adhered or fastened to the wall, steps or bottom, for example, of the swimming pool, allowing convenient wiring-free installation that does not interfere with the use of the pool, wherein the photovoltaic panels and the lighting system are found on the same plane.

8. The submersible solar lighting system according to claim 7, characterised in that the assembly thereof has a thin design that is free of edges so as to not interfere with the use of the space it occupies.

9. The submersible solar lighting system according to claim 7, characterised in that it is built from a material that, whether injection moulded or by any other method, incorporates all the components thereof such that it forms a solid and sealed unit.

10. The submersible solar lighting system according to claim 7, characterised in that the front surface that houses the photovoltaic panels and the lighting system are covered by a transparent material, whether injection moulded or by any other method.

11. The submersible solar lighting system according to claim 7, characterised in that the reflective area of the lighting system has a perimeter built with opaque material that prevents the light emitted by the lighting system from propagating through the transparent material that makes up the front portion and reaching the photovoltaic panels.
