The invention relates to a lighting device (1) for
ambient lighting and / or for
optical orientation in a passenger compartment (20) of a motor vehicle, comprising: a
first light guide element (2) with a
first light output surface (2a) facing the passenger compartment (20) and a
first light input surface (2b); a first
light source (4) arranged to couple light into the first
light guide element (2) via the first light input surface (2b), so that the light is coupled out of the first
light guide element (2) via the first light output surface (2a); a second
light guide element (3) with a second light output surface (3a) facing the passenger compartment (20) and a second light input surface (3b);a second
light source (5) arranged to couple light into the second light-guiding element (3) via the second light-in
coupling surface (3a), such that the light is coupled out of the second light-guiding element (3) via the second light-out
coupling surface (3a); wherein the first light-guiding element (2) and the second light-guiding element (3) are arranged intersecting and stacked in a common intersection section (6); and related uses.
