The light (10), particularly warning light, for a vehicle, such as, for example, an airplane, is provided with at least one light-emitting diode (20) comprising a housing (22) with connecting elements (24) arranged thereon. Further, the light (10) comprises a heat sink (14) with which the housing (22) of the at least one light-emitting diode (20) is in heat-conducting contact. The at least one light-emitting diode (20) is pressed against the heat sink (14) by means of a pressing element (38) while a relative movement transverse to the pressing direction caused by different thermal expansion is maintained.
