1. A semiconductor light emitting device comprising:

  • first, second, and third LED strings, with each LED string comprising one or more LEDs having an associated luminophoric medium;

    wherein the first, second, and third LED strings together with their associated luminophoric mediums comprise red, blue, and green channels respectively, producing first, second, and third unsaturated light having color points within red, blue, and green regions on the 1931 CIE Chromaticity diagram, respectively;

    a control circuit configured to adjust a fourth color point of a fourth unsaturated light that results from a combination of the first, second, and third unsaturated light, with the fourth color point falls within a 7-step MacAdam ellipse around any point on the black body locus having a correlated color temperature between 1800K and 10000K,wherein the spectral power distribution for the red channel is between 0.0% to 14.8% for wavelengths between 380 nm to 420 nm, between 2.1% to 15% for wavelengths between 421 nm to 460 nm, between 2.0% to 6.7% for wavelengths between 461 nm to 500 nm, between 1.4% to 12.2% for wavelengths between 501 nm to 540 nm, between 8.7% to 20.5% for wavelengths between 541 nm to 580 nm, between 48.5% and 102.8% for wavelengths between 581 nm to 620 nm, 100% for wavelengths between 621 nm to 660 nm, between 1.8% to 74.3% for wavelengths between 661 nm to 700 nm, between 0.5% to 29.5% for wavelengths between 701 nm to 740 nm, and between 0.3% to 9.0% for wavelengths between 741 nm to 780 nm.
