In a view section where the view angle is 0.1≦&agr;≦8°, light beams originating from the first and the second light sources demonstrate a uniform overlap in the view section at a distance a≧40 m from the first light source. Preferably, the distance d between the first light source and the second light source lies in the range from 10 ≦d≦25 cm.
