In the region of the light exit opening of the housing there is arranged a covering device which has a fastening portion held in the housing and an edge portion which projects from said fastening portion counter to the light exit direction. Formed between the edge portion and the fastening portion is a clearance into which the front edge of the reflector projects, a distance which is required for the adjustment of said reflector being maintained from these parts. From outside the housing, when looking through the covering plate, no gap is visible between the front edge of the reflector and the inside of the housing.
