Claim:
1. A method for calibrating a lighting apparatus, the method comprising: providing a lighting apparatus having a plurality of illuminants and a control element for individually controlling the settings of each illuminant of the plurality of illuminants, producing a first superimposed overall light distribution by dint of superimposition of individual light distributions produced by an at least one illuminant of the plurality of illuminants, producing a second essentially overlap-free light distribution from at least one selected illuminant of the plurality of illuminants, using a sensor to detect the second light distribution, independently determining at least one characteristic of each of the individual light distributions of the at least one selected illuminant, calibrating the lighting apparatus by comparing the at least one characteristic of each of the individual light distributions among one another or with prescribable setpoint data.
