Lighting device, in particular a spotlight lighting device, comprising: - at least one planar light source having a matrix-like structure and comprising a plurality of individual light sources (12, 13), each of which is suitable for emitting light having a defined wavelength; - wherein at least one first region having at least one individual light source and a second region having at least one individual light source can be controlled independently of one another; - wherein the individual light sources of the at least two regions (12, 13) are configured to emit light having different defined wavelengths; - wherein the lighting device comprises at least two planar light sources having matrix-like structures which can be aligned substantially to the same illumination field so that the light emitted by the light sources is accordingly superimposed; - wherein the two planar light sources having matrix-like structures comprise an inverted arrangement of the individual light sources; characterized in that the first region of each light source is an inner region and the second region is an outer region which surrounds the inner region, or that the first region of each light source is an inner region, which is surrounded by a plurality of outer regions of each light source, or that the regions are provided by a grouping of a plurality of individual light sources which substantially emit light having the same defined wavelength, wherein the individual light sources of a grouping are preferably disposed distributed over each light source; and that the regions can be controlled independently of one another such that both a symmetrical and an asymmetrical emission characteristic with different focal points of illumination can be provided. - at least one planar light source having a matrix-like structure and comprising a plurality of individual light sources (12, 13), each of which is suitable for emitting light having a defined wavelength; - wherein at least one first region having at least one individual light source and a second region having at least one individual light source can be controlled independently of one another; - wherein the individual light sources of the at least two regions (12, 13) are configured to emit light having different defined wavelengths; - wherein the lighting device comprises at least two planar light sources having matrix-like structures which can be aligned substantially to the same illumination field so that the light emitted by the light sources is accordingly superimposed; - wherein the two planar light sources having matrix-like structures comprise an inverted arrangement of the individual light sources; characterized in that the first region of each light source is an inner region and the second region is an outer region which surrounds the inner region, or that the first region of each light source is an inner region, which is surrounded by a plurality of outer regions of each light source, or that the regions are provided by a grouping of a plurality of individual light sources which substantially emit light having the same defined wavelength, wherein the individual light sources of a grouping are preferably disposed distributed over each light source; and that the regions can be controlled independently of one another such that both a symmetrical and an asymmetrical emission characteristic with different focal points of illumination can be provided.
