1. A projection assembly projecting a beam of light along an optical axis, the projection assembly comprising:
a first subassembly configured to generate rays of light;
a second subassembly comprising a convergent lens; and
a connecting system connecting the first subassembly to the second subassembly and allowing a translational movement of the first subassembly and the second subassembly relative to each other in a first direction parallel to the optical axis,
wherein the first subassembly and the second subassembly are configured such that the rays of light emanating from the first subassembly are sent toward the convergent lens and that the rays of light leaving said convergent lens form the beam of light,
wherein the connecting system comprises a locking member able to move between a first position in which the first subassembly and second subassembly are immobile relative to one another, and a second position allowing said translational movement.
