A lighting device comprising a light source arrangement including a plurality of semiconductor-based light sources in the form of light-emitting diodes , wherein the light emitted therefrom is bundled in such a way that it forms differently directed light cones which overlap in a light field; wherein the lighting device comprises an adjustment means for output of an adjustment signal for adjusting the direction of illumination, and a control circuit connected to said adjustment means , wherein the adjustment means allows to set intermediate stages at which light-emitting diodes of adjacent and overlapping light cones can be driven by the control circuit jointly and with variable light intensity in such a way that the focus of the light field produced by the light-emitting diodes at the intermediate stages lies between the focuses of adjacent light cones ; wherein the light-emitting diodes can be individually driven so as to emit different light intensities, and wherein at least some of the light-emitting diodes are collimated such that at least one of the light cones overlaps both with a second, adjacent light cone and with a third light cone that is adjacent to the second light cone; wherein at the different intermediate stages, the brightness of the light field remains the same or fluctuates by no more than 20 %, whereby the light sources each emit light into a stationary light cone; wherein the angle α between the directions of the focuses of the light cones at maximum deflection is 30° to 80°, preferably 35° to 55°; wherein the lighting device is designed as a recessed light having a front panel , wherein the light-emitting diodes are arranged behind said front panel and wherein the front panel is at least partially transparent. wherein the lighting device comprises an adjustment means for output of an adjustment signal for adjusting the direction of illumination, and a control circuit connected to said adjustment means , wherein the adjustment means allows to set intermediate stages at which light-emitting diodes of adjacent and overlapping light cones can be driven by the control circuit jointly and with variable light intensity in such a way that the focus of the light field produced by the light-emitting diodes at the intermediate stages lies between the focuses of adjacent light cones ; wherein the light-emitting diodes can be individually driven so as to emit different light intensities, and wherein at least some of the light-emitting diodes are collimated such that at least one of the light cones overlaps both with a second, adjacent light cone and with a third light cone that is adjacent to the second light cone; wherein at the different intermediate stages, the brightness of the light field remains the same or fluctuates by no more than 20 %, whereby the light sources each emit light into a stationary light cone; wherein the angle α between the directions of the focuses of the light cones at maximum deflection is 30° to 80°, preferably 35° to 55°; wherein the lighting device is designed as a recessed light having a front panel , wherein the light-emitting diodes are arranged behind said front panel and wherein the front panel is at least partially transparent. <EOS>
