Lighting device (10) for emitting light, comprising: - a
light source (12, 14, 16, 18) for emitting source light (20), and - an adjustable optical unit (22) which is designed to provide the light to be emitted by the lighting device (10) using the source light (20), wherein the
light source (12, 14, 16, 18) is designed to adjust a geometric extent of a
light emission surface (26) of the
light source (12, 14, 16, 18) emitting the source light (20) and / or a
radiation behavior and / or a spectral property of the light source (12, 14, 16, 18) with respect to the source light (20) depending on a light
entrance pupil (24) and / or an acceptance angle of the optical unit (22) for the source light (20), characterized in that the light source (12, 14, 16, 18) is designed to adjust the
light emission surface (26) and / or the
radiation behavior and / or the spectral property depending on a source
control signal and is further designed to adjust a
luminous flux of the source light (20) independently of the
light emission surface (26) and / or the
radiation behavior, that the light source (12, 14, 16, 18) has an adjustable source
optics unit (32, 34, 36, 38) for adjusting the light emission surface (26) and / or the radiation behavior, that the source
optics unit (32, 34, 36, 38) has at least one lens (40, 42, 44) arranged to be movable along an
optical axis of the emitted source light (20), at least one adjustable mirror element (46, 54, 56) and / or at least one adjustable diaphragm unit, and the source
optics unit (32, 34, 36, 38) further has an adjustable
light scattering unit (48).
