1. A mixture of two or more phosphors, one of a first emission energy and the second of a lower emission energy, comprising:
- the first phosphor of the formula (I)
Sr1-x3Cax3Ga2S4;
Eu;
xGa2S3
(I)wherein x is 0 to about 0.2, wherein x3 is 0.0001 to 1, and wherein a minor part of the europium component is substituted with praseodymium in an efficiency enhancing amount;
and the second phosphor of the formula (II);
Srx2Ca1-x2S;
