Abstract: 12. A lighting device comprising a lighting module including an optical output configured to emit a light beam having an angular spread is disclosed. The module has a light source configured to generate the light beam and an optical diffuser arranged to receive and diffuse the beam towards the optical output, such that the downstream value (?2) is greater than the upstream value (?1) of the angular spread. A control module emits a control signal having an alarm value when the value of the angular spread of the light beam emitted by the optical output passes below a first threshold, the control module comprising a photoreceptor optically coupled to the optical output and configured to measure a light intensity. The control module outputs the control signal having the alarm value when the value of the light intensity falls below a second threshold. A control circuit deactivates the light source upon reception of the control signal having the alarm value.
