Abstract

The radiation device has an array (11) of light-emitting diodes (12) providing light beams which are directed onto a focus region (20) at the input end of a light conductor (18), used for directing a focused light beam onto the radiation point. The light-emitting diodes are supported in a planar holder (19) at different inclination angles, for providing a light cone illuminating the light conductor input end from their output beams.
