Abstract
The invention relates to an illumination device (), comprising: at least one heat sink (); at least one first lighting element (); at least one first cooling body section () which is thermally coupled to the first lighting element () and which is configured to absorb waste heat from the first lighting element (); at least one first waste heat path () which thermally connects the first cooling body section () to the heat sink () so that the waste heat of the first lighting element () can be dissipated via the first waste heat path (); at least one second lighting element (); at least one second cooling body section () which is thermally coupled to the second lighting element () and which is configured to absorb waste heat from the second lighting element (); at least one second waste heat path () which thermally connects the second cooling body section () to the heat sink () such that the waste heat from the second lighting element () can be dissipated via the second waste heat path (); and at least one adjusting element () that is arranged between the first cooling body section () and the second cooling body section () and that is configured to adjust a heat flow from the first cooling body section () to the second cooling body section (). The invention further relates to an imaging device () with an illumination device ().
