Abstract

A LED lamp and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. At least one blue LED chip can be used as an excitation light source. A number of red LED chips are arranged around the blue LED chip. The blue LED chip and red chips are covered with a packaging material with phosphor. The intensity of red light can be adjusted by a control circuit. Thus, the white LED lamps with high efficacy and high color rendering at different color temperatures can be achieved.

Claims

1. An LED lamp with high efficacy and high color rendering, comprising:

a plurality of blue LED chips connected to each other in parallel;

a plurality of red LED chips;

phosphor covering both said blue LED chips and said red LED chips;

packaging material covering both said blue LED chips and said red LED chips; and

a control circuit connected to the blue LED chips and red LED chips so as to provide power to the blue LED chips and adjust the intensity of the red LED chips, the control circuit including a power source, a driving circuit and an adjustable resistor, the red LED chips being connected to the adjustable resistor in series, with one end of the red LED chips being connected to the power source and another end being connected to the driving circuit, one end of the blue chips being connected to the power source, and another end being connected to the driving circuit to form an electrical connection.

2. The LED lamp according to claim 1, wherein said red LED chips are arranged around the blue LED chips.

3. The LED lamp according to claim 1, wherein said blue LED chips and red LED chips are fixed on a pedestal orderly.

4. The LED lamp according to claim 1, wherein the red LED chips are arranged around the blue LED chips, the intensity of the red LEDs being adjusted by the control circuit.
