  • Patent number: 11980144
    Abstract: A plant cultivation light source includes at least two light sources selected from first, second, and third light sources that emit first, second, and third lights, respectively. The first light has a first peak at a wavelength from about 400 nanometers to about 500 nanometers, the second light has a second peak appearing at a wavelength, which is longer than the first peak, from about 400 nanometers to about 500 nanometers, and the third light has a third peak appearing at a wavelength, which is shorter than the first peak, from about 400 nanometers to about 500 nanometers. The first light is a white light and has a first sub-peak having an intensity lower than an intensity of the first peak at a wavelength from about 500 nanometers to about 700 nanometers. The first sub-peak has a full-width at half-maximum greater than a full-width at half-maximum of the first peak.

  • Patent number: 8740663
    Abstract: A light emitting device package assembly includes a light emitting device package body, and first, second and third white light emitting devices on the package body, each of the first, second and third white light emitting devices emits light when energized having a chromaticity that falls within a respective one of first, second and third non-overlapping chromaticity regions in a two dimensional chromaticity space. The first, second and third chromaticity regions are spaced apart in the two dimensional chromaticity space by respective regions having at least the size of a seven step MacAdam ellipse. Related solid state luminaires and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8125137
    Abstract: A multi-chip lighting emitting device (LED) lamp for providing white light includes a submount including first and second die mounting regions thereon. A first LED chip is mounted on the first die mounting region, and a second LED chip is mounted on the second die mounting region. The LED lamp is configured to emit light having a spectral distribution including at least four different color peaks to provide the white light. For example, a first conversion material may at least partially cover the first LED chip, and may be configured to absorb at least some of the light of the first color and re-emit light of a third color. In addition, a second conversion material may at least partially cover the first and/or second LED chips, and may be configured to absorb at least some of the light of the first and/or second colors and re-emit light of a fourth color. Related light fixtures and methods are also discussed.
