Außerdem kann mittels des Bajonettverschlusses auf relativ einfache Weise, gegebenenfalls mit wenigen zusätzlichen Mitteln, eine definierte Einbaulage der erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungseinrichtung in ihrer Halterung erzielt werden. Bei dem Einsatz der erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungseinrichtung in einem Fahrzeugscheinwerfer wird dadurch eine Justage der Leuchtdioden bzw. der Primäroptik der Beleuchtungseinrichtung bezüglich der Lichtlenkmittel des Fahrzeugscheinwerfers ermöglicht.The lighting device according to the invention has at least one light emitting diode and a heat sink for cooling the at least one light emitting diode, wherein locking means are arranged on the heat sink, which serve to form a bayonet closure with a holder for the illumination device.
