Abstract: A light emitting device including a phosphor blend including four or more phosphors emitting within a specific spectral range to optimize the color rendering index (CRI) for a given color coordinated temperature (CCT). The blend will include at least four phosphors selected from the following: a blue phosphor having an emission peak at 400-500 nm, a green phosphor having an emission peak at 500-575 nm, an orange phosphor having an emission peak from 575-615 nm, and a deep red phosphor having an emission peak at 615-680 nm. The preferred blends are used to make light sources with general CRI values (Ra) greater than 95 at CCT's from about 2500 to 8000 K.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus (10) comprises a light engine (12) producing ultra violet radiation. An enclosure (14) surrounds a radiation generating area of the light engine (12) to encompass the radiation. At least one wall (28) of the enclosure (14) is substantially reflective of the ultraviolet radiation. The enclosure (14) includes a replaceable top portion (30) which includes a phosphor portion (32). The phosphor portion (32) is spaced from the radiation generating area of the light engine (12) by a height of the enclosure (14).
