Abstract
A light emitting device is disclosed and includes an emission source configured to emit a primary blue light and a wavelength-converting element configured to convert the primary blue light to a secondary light having a correlated color temperature (CCT) in the range of 1600K-2500K and color rendering index (CRI) in the range of 40-60, the wavelength-converting element including a red phosphor material having a peak emission wavelength that is less than 620 nm and a green phosphor material having a peak emission wavelength that is greater than 530 nm. The device may exhibit a melanopic/photopic ratio of less than 0.25 and/or may exhibit a radiometric power fraction of light having a wavelength below 530 nm below .1.
