1. A method of forming a light emitting apparatus, the method comprising:

  • providing a substrate,mounting a first LED, a second LED, a third LED, and a fourth LED on the substrate, andproviding first, second, third, and fourth luminophoric mediums in illuminative communication with the first, second, third, and fourth LEDs, respectively,wherein a combined light emitted by the first, second, third, and fourth LEDs and the first, second, third, and fourth luminophoric mediums together has a fifth color point that 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 first LED and first luminophoric medium together emit a first unsaturated light having a first spectral power distribution having spectral power distribution intensity of between 27.0 and 65.1 for the wavelength range of 501 nm to 600 nm, between 24.8 and 46.4 for the wavelength range of 601 nm to 700 nm, and between 1.1 and 6.8 for the wavelength range of 701 nm to 780 nm, relative to a value of 100.0 for the wavelength range of 380 nm to 500 nm;

    wherein the second LED and second luminophoric medium together emit a second unsaturated light having a second spectral power distribution having spectral power distribution intensity of between 3.3 and 17.4 for the wavelength range of 380 nm to 500 nm, between 8.9 and 24.8 for the wavelength range of 501 nm to 600 nm, and between 1.1 and 18.1 for the wavelength range of 701 nm to 780 nm, relative to a value of 100.0 for the wavelength range of 601 nm to 700 nm;

    wherein the third LED and third luminophoric medium together emit a third unsaturated light having a third spectral power distribution having spectral power distribution intensity of between 2.4 and 35.8 for the wavelength range of 380 nm to 500 nm, between 61.2 and 142.0 for the wavelength range of 601 nm to 700 nm, and between 7.9 and 21.1 for the wavelength range of 701 nm to 780 nm, relative to a value of 100.0 for the wavelength range of 501 nm to 600 nm; and

    wherein the fourth LED and fourth luminophoric medium together emit a fourth unsaturated light having a fourth spectral power distribution having spectral power distribution intensity of between 19.9 and 32.2 for the wavelength range of 380 nm to 500 nm, between 14.7 and 42.4 for the wavelength range of 601 nm to 700 nm, and between 1.3 and 6.1 for the wavelength range of 701 nm to 780 nm, relative to a value of 100.0 for the wavelength range of 501 nm to 600 nm.
