    Abstract: The invention discloses a projector unit comprising a housing on which a light module is supported to be pivotable in two spatial directions. Via eccentrics which are supported on the housing, the light module can be rotated in two axes of rotation each having a specific angle of rotation. Preferably, via one eccentric, the light module is pivoted along with the axis of rotation and, via the further eccentric, the light module is rotated about the axis of rotation.
