Abstract
A multi-emitter solid state lighting device includes at least one narrow spectral output solid state light emitter, such as may be in the green range, having a full width-half maximum emission value of no greater than 30 nm. First, second, and third electrically solid state emitters may include dominant wavelengths in the ranges of 485-505 nm (or 491-505 nm), 526-545 nm, and 615-625 nm. Aggregate emissions of a solid state lighting device may comprise a scotopic/photopic (S/P) ratio value that exceeds threshold values for conventional white light-emitting devices including at least one phosphor-converted LED by at least 10%, 20%, 30%, or 40%, in combination with reasonably high gamut and brightness, over a range of desired CCT values.
