A light device comprises at least one light module having a front side and a rear side, as well as a lighting means arranged for emitting light from the front side, a lighting means arranged for emitting light from the rear side, and a control unit. The control unit is configured for adjusting the front-side lighting means and the rear-side lighting means. In particular, the control unit is configured to calibrate the light module to a light level that can be preset, to dynamically adjust the front-side lighting means for the display of information, and to adjust the rear-side lighting means such that it is adapted to the dynamically adjusted front-side lighting means, so that the calibrated light level is constant. In this way, the light device can influence the lighting properties in a target area in such a way that an impairment of the illumination of the target area is minimal for displaying the information even with varying lighting properties of the front lighting means.
