Abstract

An illumination device (6) comprising a light source (8) producing a first cone of light (10) and a deflection unit (12) for the beam-shaping conversion of the first cone of light (10) into a second cone of light (14a,b) and to emit the latter towards the target area (4a,b), the deflection unit (12) can be varied in order to vary the form (Fa,b) and/or the intensity distribution (Ia,b) in the second cone of light.An illumination system (2) contains the illumination device (6) and the target area (4a,b).The illumination device (6) or the illumination system (2) is used to illuminate a surface of an interior of a vehicle as target area (4a,b).
