1. An apparatus for generating essentially white light, comprising:

  • at least one first white LED characterized by a first spectrum having a first color temperature, the at least one first white LED including a first phosphor, the at least one first white LED generating at least one first wavelength that is converted by the first phosphor to provide the first spectrum; and

    at least one second white LED characterized by a second spectrum having a second color temperature, the at least one second white LED including a second phosphor, the at least one second white LED generating at least one second wavelength that is converted by the second phosphor to provide the second spectrum, wherein;

    the first color temperature differs from the second color temperature by at least 2200 degrees Kelvin.
