1. A light emitting diode (LED) device, comprising:
- an LED light source capable of emitting light in an emission spectrum; and
a filter arranged so that at least some light from said LED light source passes through said filter, said filter filtering at least some of said light source emission spectrum, said light source light having a different color temperature but substantially the same CRI after passing through said filter.

Abstract
Solid state light sources, lighting devices and lamps arranged to provide emission with a warm temperature and high CRI. One embodiment of a solid state lighting device according to the present invention comprises a light emitting diode (LED) device capable of emitting light in an emission spectrum. A filter arranged so that at least some light from the LED light source passes through it, with the filter filtering at least some of one or more portions of the light source emission spectrum. The resulting light source light has a different temperature but substantially the same CRI after passing through the filter.
