The lighting module 7 can be used alternatively or optionally in addition in this state A and in this adjusting position V3 as make-up mirror lighting.

The light outlet area 21 is shown in different adjusting positions V4; VS in Figs. 8 and 9 when the visor device 2 is in the folded-in state E. In Fig. 8, the reflector device 22 is set in such a way that the light trap 23 assumes a fourth adjusting position V4 and is arranged on the free bottom edge 6c of the visor device 2 or coincides with said edge. Since the visor device 2 is in the folded-in state E, the light beam 17 is emitted in a fourth beam direction R4 along the inside roof lining 11 in the direction of the front passenger's seat 15. The lighting module 7 is arranged as a diffuse -11 -background lighting or ambient lighting in said fourth adjusting position V4 and in the folded-in state E. Fig. 9 shows the visor device 2 in the folded-in state E. The reflector device 22 is set in such a way that the light trap 23 assumes a fifth adjusting position V5. In the fifth adjusting position V5, the light trap 23 is arranged on the rear side 19 of the visor device 2, so that the light beam 17 is emitted in the folded-in state E of the visor device 2 according to the already described second beam direction R2 towards the front passengers seat 15 (Fig. 1-4). As a result, the lighting device 7 can also be used in this position as a reading lamp for the front passenger for example.

Fig. 2 also shows an arrangement of the light trap 23 on the rear side 19 of the visor device 2, wherein the visor device 2 is folded out and assumes the first rotational position Xl. As a result, the light beam 17 is emitted in a fifth beam direction R5 beyond the driver's seat 13 and obliquely in the direction towards a steering wheel of the vehicle 10.

Fig. 3 also shows an arrangement of the light trap 23 on the rear side 19 of the visor * device 2, wherein the visor device 2 is reference A when folded out and assumes the second rotational position X2. In particular, the light beam 17 is thus emitted in a sixth : 20 beam direction R6 beyond the front passenger's seat 15 in the direction towards the driver's seat 13. U...

: In accordance with Fig. 4, the visor device 2 is E in the folded-in state and the lighting module 7 is arranged on the first side edge 6a. The reflector device 22 is set in such a way that the light trap 23 is arranged on the side edge 6a or coincides with said edge. As a result, the light beam 17 is emitted in a seventh beam direction R7 along the inside roof lining 11 in the direction towards the steering wheel.

In summary, the light beam 17 can be set and emitted by the pivotability and rotatability of the visor device 2 and by the adjustability of the light outlet area 21 in the seven different beam directions RI; R2; R3; R4; R5; R6; R7 which are shown in Figs. I to 9.

Furthermore, it is possible to realize numerous further beam directions.
