Abstract
The invention relates to an illumination device (1) comprising at least one substrate plate (2), at least two light-emitting diodes (3) (LEDs) arranged on the same side (A) of the substrate plate (2), and at least one electrically conductive cooling device (8) arranged on the opposite side (B) of the substrate plate (2), in particular a metallic heat sink (8), wherein at least two LEDs (3) are thermally operatively connected to the cooling device (8) by means of in each case at least one thermal coupling device (9) formed from an electrically conductive material. According to the invention, the cooling device (8) has at least two regions (8a, 8b, 8c) which are electrically isolated from one another, wherein a first region (8b) is thermally and electrically operatively connected to at least one first LED (3), and a second region (8a, 8c) is thermally and electrically operatively connected to at least one second LED (3).
