Essential feature of the invention consists of having over the cover plate (1) also irregularly-shaped oblong beam-forming optical elements, the longitudinal axes of which are parallel with the center line (10) of the light-emitting element (2). Said oblong beam-forming optical elements are expediently cylindrical lenses (5, 6, 7, 8) or prisms.
