Claim Text:
1. An illumination device comprising: an emitter of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength comprised in the visible spectrum and/or in the infrared range and designed to illuminate a scene, the emitter being configured to deliver an emission of the electromagnetic radiation by at least one flash with a luminous power greater than a threshold generating dazzling, an observation system configured to deliver an image representative of the illuminated scene to an observer carrying said observation system, the observation system being configured to present a first operating condition and a second operating condition, the second operating condition transmitting less luminous power to the observer than the first operating condition, a synchronization circuit configured to synchronize the emitter and the observation system so that the observer is not dazzled during emission of a flash by the emitter, wherein the emitter and the observation system each comprise a clock and a memory incorporating the distribution pattern of a plurality of flashes in time and wherein the synchronization circuit comprises a transmission/receipt circuit of a synchronization signal configured to initialize synchronization of the emitter and of the observation system.
