Illumination device for a dazzle-free high beam function with a plurality of LED light sources and an optical unit, with a sensor appliance to detect approaching road users and/or road users travelling in front, with a control mechanism which activates the LED light sources by means of dimming or turning them on and off depending on the sensor data supplied by the sensor assembly in such a way that an anti-dazzling area of the high beam function corresponding to the approaching road user and/or the road user travelling in front is created to prevent the road user from being dazzled, wherein at least the optical unit assigned to the high beam function includes optical elements assigned to the same LED light source, thereby producing least two light spots for every LED light source. On a test screen a first light spot comprises a vertical light/dark boundary on a left side and a second light spot comprises a vertical light/dark boundary on a right side, and that the optical elements are designed in such a way that the first light spot and the second light spot can be superimposed on each other to create a combined light spot, wherein the combined light spot comprises the vertical light/dark boundary of the first light spot or the second light spot, respectively on the left side and the right side.
