The present invention relates to an illumination device comprising at least one light source and a reflector system forming a spotlight (1), one or several actuators (5) arranged to pivot the spotlight (1) relative in a mounting base (4) for varying an illumination angle, and a camera (13) attached to the spotlight (1) and aligned to acquire images of an illumination region (7) to which the spotlight (1) is directed. The spotlight (1) is designed to comprise a central region from which the illumination region (7) is visible and which does not reflect or emit light of the light source towards the illumination region (7), wherein the camera (13) is arranged in said central region on an optical axis (14) of the spotlight (1). With the proposed illumination device an exact aiming of the spotlight (1) can be achieved even in applications in which the illuminated region (7) is close to the spotlight (1) without causing undesired shadows in the illumination region (7).
