A lighting means comprising at least one light source and at least one finger-shaped light guide element with a light in-coupling surface and with a light emitting surface, which is distinct from the light in-coupling surface, and one or a plurality of side walls connecting the light in-coupling surface and the light emitting surface to each other, wherein the light being emitted by the at least one light source in its at least one light emission direction enters exclusively via the light in-coupling surface into the light guide element, the light emitting surface of the light guide element is designed free from light out-coupling structures, characterised in that: - at least one reflector is arranged in the optical path of the light between the at least one light source and the light in-coupling surface of the at least one light guide element, - the reflector deflects in at least one light in-coupling direction the light being emitted by the at least one light source in its at least one light emission direction to the light in-coupling surface of the light guide element, - the reflector consists of at least two reflector portions (08, 09), one main reflector portion and at least one sub-reflector portion, - the main reflector portion collimates the light while it is being deflected such that, after the light enters through the light in-coupling surface into the light guide element, it passes through it free from interaction with the side walls and is emitted through the light emitting surface, and in that - the at least one sub-reflector portion directs the light while it is being deflected such that, after the light enters through the light in-coupling surface into the light guide element, it interacts under total reflection once or multiple times with the side wall or side walls and is emitted from the light emitting surface at an angle in relation to the light being deflected by the main reflector and being propagated free from interaction through the light guide element. - at least one reflector is arranged in the optical path of the light between the at least one light source and the light in-coupling surface of the at least one light guide element, - the reflector deflects in at least one light in-coupling direction the light being emitted by the at least one light source in its at least one light emission direction to the light in-coupling surface of the light guide element, - the reflector consists of at least two reflector portions (08, 09), one main reflector portion and at least one sub-reflector portion, - the main reflector portion collimates the light while it is being deflected such that, after the light enters through the light in-coupling surface into the light guide element, it passes through it free from interaction with the side walls and is emitted through the light emitting surface, and in that - the at least one sub-reflector portion directs the light while it is being deflected such that, after the light enters through the light in-coupling surface into the light guide element, it interacts under total reflection once or multiple times with the side wall or side walls and is emitted from the light emitting surface at an angle in relation to the light being deflected by the main reflector and being propagated free from interaction through the light guide element.
