Actually occulting lights are a very small fraction of all lights to begin with (There are none on the Missisipi river system). However, there is nothing that prevents one from existing on a buoy. I could find very few on a buoy. Examples are lights # 29255 (Oc G 4s) and 29260 (Oc R 4s) in Hawaii's Kalihi Channel in the fourteenth district in http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pubs/LightLists/V6Complete%5B2%5D.pdf BUT you can find them on the "Fictitious nautical chart" in every USCG lights list (page 30 of http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pubs/LightLists/Ref2005W.pdf) is an example, of an occulting buoy (R "4" Oc R 6s). --- Skapur 02:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-12-13T02:10:00.000Z","author":"Skapur","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Skapur-2006-12-13T02:10:00.000Z-Buoy","replies":[]}}-->
