Abstract: Anti collision light for an aircraft includes a number of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged on a common plane. A reflecting arrangement is located above the plane and reflects the light emitted by the diodes in a sidewards direction. A surrounding reflecting arrangement can be provided around the diodes and an additional reflecting arrangement in form of a layer on the plane may also be utilized. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
