Luminaire

A luminaire having a plurality of channels Kn, the channels each comprise a light source and a collimator, wherein

• each channel Kn produces a light cone having different opening angles αn and
• the channels Kn form a sequence (Kn)n=1, . . . ,N, the light cones of which have progressively greater or progressively smaller opening angles αn and
• an intensity ln(x) of the channels Kn can be controlled by a setting of a manipulated variable x by means of an actuator, wherein the intensities ln(x) of the channels Kn are dependent on the manipulated variable and each follow a curve having a maximum as well as a rising edge and/or a falling edge, wherein the curves of adjacent channels Kn−1, Kn, Kn+1 are shifted in relation to one another in such a way that
• a reduction in the intensity ln(x) of a channel Kn controlled by the actuator is at least partially associated with an increase in the intensity ln±1 (x) of an adjacent channel Kn±1, and
• an increase in the intensity ln(x) of a channel K controlled by the actuator is at least partially associated with a reduction in the intensity ln±1(x) of an adjacent channel Kn±1.
