6. An information light system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the information light system ( 1 ) comprises at least a first connection part ( 6 ) for mounting the chamber ( 2 ) to the first surface and which comprises at least a first part extending substantially parallel to the side of the second wall ( 2 c ) that intersects the cover ( 2 b ) and at least a second part which is in connection with the first part so as to have an angle different from 0 and 180 degrees in between, wherein at least one section of the second part in connection with the first part and located on the second wall ( 2 c ) extends away from the chamber ( 2 ), from a surface of the chamber ( 2 ) on which the cover ( 2 b ) is provided.

7. An information light system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the information light system ( 1 ) comprise at least a second connection part ( 7 ) which extends from the second wall ( 2 c ) away from the chamber ( 2 ) and is located at the chamber ( 2 ) so as to have an angle with the second wall ( 2 c ) different from 0 and 180 degrees.

8. An information light system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the reflecting area ( 2 f ) is located substantially directly opposite to the lighting element ( 3 a ).

9. An information light system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the reflecting area ( 2 f ) is convex.

10. An information light system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the connector ( 4 ) is located away from the first wall ( 2 a ) with a first distance.
