- the beam path can be folded so that thereby the optically effective surfaces are kept low.
- a light module also called a projection light module, which contains at least one free-form surface which is realized by at least one optical monolith.
- a corresponding light module for an emission device comprises at least one light source and at least one projection device, which can image light emerging from the light source into an area in front of the emission device in the form of at least one light distribution.
