- the phosphor element of an output module is arranged to emit red, green and blue light upon incidence of a blue, violet or UV laser beam.
- the output beam shape and/or direction of the optical element provided with a first light output module differs from the output beam shape and/or direction, respectively, of the optical element provided with a second light output module.
- the output beam shape and/or direction may substantially coincide, e.g. for providing a spare light output module which can be used if a primary light output module does not function properly, e.g. due to mechanical damage.
