Abstract

LED module for generating white light having a plurality of white-light LEDs including at least one LED with a central wavelength of between 495 nm and 507 nm, at least one LED with a central wavelength of between 511 nm and 529 nm, at least one LED with a central wavelength of between 586 nm and 602 nm, and at least one LED with a central wavelength of between 618 nm and 630 nm.

Claims (20)

1. An LED module for generating white light, comprising:

a plurality of white-light LEDs,

at least one color LED with a central wavelength of between 495 nm and 507 nm,

at least one color LED with a central wavelength of between 511 nm and 529 nm,

at least one color LED with a central wavelength of between 586 nm and 602 nm, and

at least one color LED with a central wavelength of between 618 nm and 630 nm,

wherein the the white-light LEDs generate white light of a first spectrum and the LED module generates white light of a second spectrum by combining light emitted by the white-light LEDs with light emitted by the color LEDs, the first spectrum of white light being different from the second spectrum of white light.

2. The LED module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the module comprises:

2 n LEDs with a central wavelength of between 495 nm and 507 nm,

2 n LEDs with a central wavelength of between 511 nm and 529 nm,

n LEDs with a central wavelength of between 586 nm and 602 nm,

n LEDs with a central wavelength of between 618 nm and 630 nm, and

10 n white-light LEDs,

where n is a natural number.

3. The LED module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein brightness can be varied at least in the case of some of the color LEDs and/or the white-light LEDs relative to each other.

4. A multiple LED module comprising at least two LED modules as claimed in claim 1 .

5. The LED module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the brightness can be varied at least in the case of some of the color LEDs and/or the white-light LEDs relative to each other.

6. A multiple LED module comprising at least two LED modules as claimed in claim 2 .

7. The LED module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein n is one of the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.

8. The LED module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second spectrum of white light has a color temperature that can be varied by a variation of a brightness of the white light LEDs with respect to the brightness of the color LEDs.
