Abstract
An illumination device is provided having a light source, a light exit aperture, and a reflector unit that is arranged between the light source and the light exit aperture and can be controlled in terms of its reflection position by means of a control signal, wherein the reflector unit is designed to assume (via an operating control signal) an operating position in which light emitted by the light source can be deflected to the light exit aperture, and wherein the illumination device has an absorber element which is designed to absorb received light, wherein the reflector unit is designed to assume (via an absorber signal) an absorber position in which the light emitted by the light source and/or light entering into the illumination device from the outside through the light exit aperture can be deflected to the absorber element.
