A battery box (1) for a life light (8), in particular for inflatable liferafts, contains a battery and a magnetically operable switch. Amagnet for cooperation with the switch is disposed in one end (19) of an activation grip (4, 5), said end being designed to be received in a collar (3) on the battery box closely adjacent to the switch. When the activation grip (4, 5) cooperates with the collar (3), the power to the life light is turned off, and when the activation means (4, 5) is pulled out, the power is turned off. This structure is particularly advantageous for inflatable liferafts where the battery box (1) and the activation grip (4, 5) are separately attached to the liferaft in such positions that the elements (1, 4, 5) are in engagement in the stowed condition of the raft. When the raft is inflated, the elements (1, 4, 5) can be torn away from each other without causing damage. |
