Abstract
A beacon, especially for a wind turbine, comprising a support structure; at least two different LED units circumferentially mounted thereon and directed outwardly and alternating in a circumferential direction, with emitted light of first and second ones of the LED units differing with respect to their spectral compositions and being activatable separately from one another; and a linear lens disposed outwardly of the LED units, extending the circumferential direction, and serving to bundle light emitted from the LED units, with the linear lens being shared by all of the LED units.

A beacon, comprising:
- a support structure (2);
- at least two different LED units (10, 12) circumferentially mounted on said support structure (2) and directed outwardly, wherein said at least two different LED units (10, 12) alternate in a circumferential direction, further wherein emitted light of first ones (10) of said LED units and of second ones (12) of said LED units differ with respect to their spectral compositions, and wherein said first and second ones (10, 12) of said LED units are configured to be activated separately from one another;
- and
- a linear lens (7) disposed radially outwardly of said LED units (10, 12), and extending in a circumferential direction, wherein said linear lens (7) serves for bundling of light (30) emitted from said LED units (10, 12) and wherein said linear lens (7) is shared by all of said LED units.
