Abstract: A light emitting arrangement (100) is provided for realizing anti-fouling of a surface (30) of a marine structure. The light emitting arrangement is shaped in sheet form and has an optical medium (4) and a light source (20) embedded in the optical medium and configured to emit anti-fouling light from an emission surface (301). The light emitting arrangement has at least one mirror configured to reflect anti-fouling light from the light source towards the emission surface. The mirror is arranged near or at the back surface and is electrically conductive and coupled to the light source for constituting a first electrode (120) arranged for transfer of electrical power between the light source and a power source. For example, the mirror forms a capacitor (6) in combination with an external electrically conductive element (50) and a dielectric layer (4a).
