Abstract
This invention relates to a safety measure taken against unsafe exposure of high-intensity laser light that is relevant for the reliable and safer operation of laser-based lighting devices. According to this invention, a lighting device comprises a first light-emitting semiconductor device and a light-conversion device. The first light-emitting semiconductor device is a laser device configured to generate a first light output and the 5light-conversion device is configured to receive the first light output and convert at least part of the first light output into a converted light output. The lighting device further comprises an optical element configured to receive the converted light output from the light-conversion device. The optical element is configured to transmit the converted light output and the first light output, and attenuate the first light output above a threshold value of the first light output.
