Abstract
An illumination device for an aircraft, comprising a combination of two-dimensional background illumination with a reflection of incident light on a face pointing towards the viewer in order to achieve a particular depth effect, as a result of which the illumination body appears to the viewer in greater visual depth than is actually the case. This is, in particular, of importance in aircraft, in which not only is the available space small, but also the weight aspect that is inevitably associated with large bodies plays an important role.
