Device for adjusting a light module

The apparatus has an articulated joint connecting an adjustment mechanism to a carrier of a light module. The articulated joint connects a free end of a linear control element (2) to the adjustment mechanism such that the control element pivots around an axis of rotation perpendicular to adjustment direction to make up a pivot joint. Another pivot joint in the control element allows the element to pivot around another axis of rotation perpendicular to the former axis of rotation.
