1. A light array, comprising:
- a plurality of colored light-emitting diode elements dispersed within a light array and configured to provide a uniform color output;
wherein said plurality of colored light-emitting diode elements comprises six red light-emitting diode elements, six green light-emitting diode elements, six blue light-emitting diode elements and six white light-emitting diode elements, wherein said white light-emitting diode elements each compromise at least one light emitting diode in a structure configured to emit white light;
wherein said red, green, blue and white light-emitting diode elements are arranged to form a 4×
6 rectangle in said light array with said red light-emitting diode elements being located towards a center of said light array, wherein said six red light-emitting diodes are grouped in two groups that each compromise three of the red light-emitting diode elements and one of the white light-emitting diode elements to form a central part of said 4×
6 rectangle that is surrounded by said six blue light-emitting diode elements and said six green light-emitting diode elements and a remaining four of said white light-emitting diode elements, said remaining four of the white light-emitting diode elements being located at each corner of said 4×
6 rectangle; and
wherein said 4×
6 rectangle has a long edge defined by six of the plurality of colored light-emitting diode elements and a short edge defined by four of the plurality of colored light-emitting diode elements.

Abstract
Described herein is a light array for luminaires which comprises a plurality of coloured light-emitting diode (LED) elements that are arranged within the array to provide better uniformity of illumination. The light array may be rectangular and include equal numbers of colored LED elements of four colors. The red LED elements are grouped towards the center of the light array with the other colors dispersed throughout the array. Two or more light arrays can be placed adjacent one another to increase the illumination produced whilst maintaining the benefit of better uniformity of illumination.
