Abstract: The invention relates to a white light emitting LED lamp. The LED lamp comprises an LED emitting blue light and luminescent layer for converting a part of the blue light into light having a longer wavelength. According to the invention either a dye is provided for absorbing a part of the blue light emitted by the LED or a light reflecting layer is provided for selectively reflecting a part of the blue light emitted by the LED. Thus the proportion of the blue light is reduced which results in a reduced color temperature without having a negative effect on the color rendering and only reducing the total luminous flux by a small amount, which is more efficient than using a thicker luminescent coating.
