Photographic lighting device

A lighting device, comprising

• a housing;
• a planar arrangement of lamps, which are arranged in the housing;
• and
• a plate device, wherein a housing rear wall is formed by the plate device, the plate device being a circuit board, on which an electric circuit associated with the lamps is arranged, and a heat sink device for passive cooling, comprising pin-shaped cooling elements;
• and
• a seat integrated into an arrangement of the pin-shaped cooling elements configured to detachably mount a release closure device in the seat, the seat being located at a surface region of a rear side of the circuit board that is without the pin-shaped elements arranged directly thereon, wherein the surface region is surrounded by the pin-shaped cooling elements and directly engages the release closure device when the release closure device is mounted to the lighting device;
• wherein the pin-shaped cooling elements are arranged directly on the rear side of the circuit board, such that the pin-shaped cooling elements are thermally coupled to a cooling core of the circuit board;
• wherein the release closure device is formed with a spherical-head coupling in order to mount the lighting device on a spherical head and has a locking device that locks against unintended detachment;
• wherein the spherical-head coupling has a tensioning device in order to fasten the release closure device on the spherical head and detach the release closure device therefrom;
• wherein the housing comprises housing portions laterally surrounding the arrangement of the pin-shaped cooling elements, wherein the housing portions comprise heat dissipation openings;
• wherein the housing is arranged such that the pin-shaped cooling elements are unshielded by housing parts with respect to the surrounding environment on the rear side of the housing.
