Abstract
The invention relates to an illumination device (LV) comprising at least one light fixture (LE), wherein the at least one illumination device (LV) has at least one sensor device (SEV) for detecting objects (O1, O2, O3), supplying information to the illumination device (LV) for controlling the at least one light fixture (LE). This sensor device (SEV) is equipped to detect the object type (Oid1, Oid2, . . . , OidN) of a detected object (O1, O2, O3) and/or the at least one sensor device (SEV) is equipped to determine the distance of the detected object (O1, O2, O3), the illumination device (LV) having at least one memory (SPE), said memory (SPE) being equipped to store at least one light profile (LP1, LP2, . . . , LPN), such that the at least one light profile (LP1,LP2, . . . , LPN) contains luminous intensity values (W11, . . . , W1M; W21, . . . , W2M; . . . ; WN1, . . . , WNM) as a function of object types (Oid1, Oid2, . . . , OidN) and/or the distance of an object (O1, O2,O3) from the at least one light fixture (LE) of the illumination device (LV), and the illumination device (LV) comprises at least one control device (STV) which controls the at least one light fixture (LE) with a corresponding luminous intensity value (W11, . . . , W1M; W21, . . . , W2M; . . . ; WN1, . . . , WNM) in accordance with the information concerning the object type (Oid1, Oid2, . . . , OidN) and/or the distance of a detected object in accordance with the information originating from the at least one sensor device (SEV). The invention also relates to an illumination system consisting of such illumination devices which are preferably equipped for communication with one another.
