A lighting system includes a light source such as a laser, a scanning system such as a micro-mechanical mirror, and a converter element such as a phosphor. A redirection element is arranged in the optical path and has a discontinuity so that light is redirected to spaced apart locations on the converter element from adjacent locations on either side of the discontinuity. The redirection element increases the light's angular range. The lighting system may have a lens to project a desired pattern of light on the converter element forwards. A controller may control the scanning system to produce the desired pattern of light. The lighting system may adapt the pattern of light. The lighting system may be used in automotive applications.
