The lighting engine includes a circuit board, a blue light emitting diode and a red light emitting diode. The blue light emitting diode and a red light emitting diode are disposed on the circuit board. The wavelength-converting element covers at least the blue light emitting diode. A wavelength-converted light is generated by converting a part of light emitted by the lighting engine through the wavelength-converting element. White light having a color temperature within a range from 2580K to 3220K on the black-body radiation of the CIE-1931 chromaticity diagram is generated by mixing the wavelength-converted light and non-converted light emitted by the lighting engine.
