1. A white-light-emitting device comprising:
- a first LED, a second LED, and a third LED, each configured to emit light with peak wavelength of between about 385 nm and about 485 nm;
a first recipient luminophoric medium associated with the first LED and configured to provide a first combined light when excited by the first LED, the first recipient luminphoric medium comprised of one or more luminescent materials and matrix in a first ratio to produce the first combined light in a blue color range on 1931 CIE diagram;
a second recipient luminophoric medium associated with the second LED and configured to provide a second combined light when excited by the second LED, the second recipient luminphoric medium comprised of one or more luminescent materials and matrix in a second ratio to produce the second combined light in a red color range on 1931 CIE diagram;
a third recipient luminophoric medium associated with the third LED and configured to provide a third combined light when excited by the third LED, the third recipient luminphoric medium comprised of one or more luminescent materials and matrix in a third ratio to produce the third combined light in a yellow/green color range on 1931 CIE diagram;
a fourth LED configured to emit light with a peak wavelength of between about 465 nm and about 520 nm;
a fourth recipient luminophoric medium associated with the fourth LED and configured to provide a fourth combined light when excited by the fourth LED, the fourth recipient luminphoric medium comprised of one or more luminescent materials and matrix in a fourth ratio to produce the fourth combined light in a cyan color range on 1931 CIE diagram;
wherein the luminescent materials within each of the first, second, third, and fourth luminophoric mediums comprise one or more of a first type of luminescent material that emits light at a peak emission between about 515 nm and 590 nm in response to the associated LED light emission; and
,wherein the luminescent materials within each of the first, second, third, and fourth luminophoric mediums comprise one or more of a second type of luminescent material that emits light at a peak emission between about 590 nm and about 700 nm in response to the associated LED light emission.
