1. A lighting device for generating a light emission, the lighting device comprising:
- a light source configured to generate light with a first dominant wavelength, wherein the light source comprises a chip;
a first converter configured to absorb the light generated by the light source and emit light with a second dominant wavelength, which is greater than the first dominant wavelength, wherein the second dominant wavelength is less than 610 nm; and
a second converter configured to absorb a light component of the light emitted by the first converter and emit light such that the light emission has a third dominant wavelength, which is greater than the second dominant wavelength, wherein the second converter comprises an organic phosphor,wherein the second converter comprises a particle size that is smaller than the second dominant wavelength,wherein the first converter is arranged directly on the chip and the second converter is arranged directly on the first converter,wherein substantially no radiation of the light with the first dominant wavelength impinges on the second converter, andwherein at least 95% of the light with the first dominant wavelength is converted by the first converter.
