Abstract

A lighting device includes a first lighting unit and a second lighting unit. The first lighting unit emits a first light spectrum having a main peak between 525 nm and 585 nm and a first sub peak between 400 nm and 470 nm. The second lighting unit emits a second light spectrum having a main peak between 595 nm and 775 nm and a second sub peak between 400 nm and 470 nm. An intensity of the first sub peak is different from an intensity of the second sub peak.
