The application relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle for creating a light animation. The lighting device comprises a light emission device, the light emission device is subdivided into a plurality of segments. The lighting device further has a control unit, which is designed to separately control each of the plurality of segments of the light emission device. The control unit is also configured to control the plurality of segments in a way that a photometric parameter of the lighting device averaged across all segments for the light animation is within a predefined interval.
