Research Abstract	As a main source of light for marine illumination, incandescent lamps have been used for long years. Today, applicability of other sources of light need to be focused on from the point of energy-saving. In the present study, I made clear the usability and applicability of new sources of light for marine illumination such as electrodeless lamps, LED and so on. Futhermore, I focused on a special character of electrodeless lamps : they have fast-blinking response. From the point of this character, I did research on how to apply the use of the lamps to visible light communication on the sea.
