  • Patent number: 9380652
    Abstract: The lighting device has at least one LED chip that is potted by means of a potting compound, which potting compound has a light-transmissive, castable and curable matrix material comprising scattering volumes as filler material, wherein the scattering volumes are distributed inhomogeneously over a thickness of the potting compound and these scattering volumes have a lower density than the matrix material in its castable state. A method is used for producing a lighting device, which comprises at least one LED chip, by means of at least the following steps: potting the at least one LED chip by means of a potting compound containing scattering volumes, wherein the scattering volumes have a lower density than a matrix material of the potting compound in this state; curing the potting compound so that an inhomogeneous distribution of the scattering volumes is obtained owing to floating of the scattering volumes in the matrix material.
