- the resulting water jet image is limited to the water jet image of a conventional shower head and the illumination due to the light sources arranged in the visible surface is limited to the illumination effect of a conventional light source.
- the invention is based on the problem of designing and developing the known shower device in such a way that the flexibility in the combined generation of water jet images and lighting effects is increased.

- the outlet opening during the shower operation is not necessarily completely covered with leaking water, as is the case for example with a nozzle opening. Rather, it is preferably proposed that during the shower operation the outlet opening is occupied at all times only proportionally with leaking water. This allows depending on the water jet image, a different occupancy of the outlet opening with leaking water, which further increases the flexibility in generating the water jet image.
- the nozzle arrangement is distributed along the edge region along at least a portion of the edge of the outlet opening.
- the nozzle assembly thus follows the course of the edge of the outlet opening.

- the above outlet opening serves not only the exit of water, but also the exit of at least a portion of the light which has been generated by the illumination arrangement.
- the nozzle arrangement can be distributed only along a portion of the edge of the outlet opening, as indicated above.
- the nozzle arrangement is distributed along the entire edge of the outlet opening, wherein the distribution does not necessarily have to be provided uniformly, but may also be provided unevenly.
- a distribution of individual groups of nozzles of the nozzle arrangement is also conceivable.

- the further preferred embodiments according to claims 15 and 16 relate to preferred shapes for the outlet opening.
- continuous water jet images can be generated with the roundish discharge openings according to claim 15 over the edge of the outlet opening, while completely new water jet images can be generated with the polygonal discharge openings according to address 16, which are precisely due to the existence of the corners.
- at least one corner of the outlet opening can be sharp-edged and / or at least one corner of the outlet opening can or may be rounded.
- the nozzle arrangement and / or the lighting arrangement is concealed by the edge area of the outlet opening, when the shower device is used as intended, from the edge area and thus not seen. bar. This results in a design overall impression that can not be produced with existing shower devices.
- a shower arrangement is claimed as such, in which a shower device according to the first-mentioned teaching is mounted in or on a ceiling. Reference may be made to all versions of the proposed shower device.
- the smallest clear inside dimension of the outlet opening of appreciable size in relation to the height of the outlet opening or the ceiling in or to which the shower device is mounted, above the room floor. Due to the exceptional size of the outlet opening, on the one hand, the above-mentioned flexibility with respect to the water jet image and the lighting effects and on the other hand with regard to the overall design impression results.
