Lighting apparatus

1. A lighting apparatus, comprising:

first light emitting elements;

second light emitting elements having chromaticity values in a same chromaticity range as the first light emitting elements; and

a control circuit including a mode switch for controlling the first light emitting elements and the second light emitting elements separately, wherein

the first light emitting elements emit light having a spectral distribution that includes a first peak wavelength in a range of 425 nm to 480 nm inclusive and a second peak wavelength in a range of 500 nm to 560 nm inclusive,

the second light emitting elements emit light having a spectral distribution that includes a first peak wavelength in a range of 425 nm to 480 nm inclusive, a second peak wavelength in a range of 500 nm to 560 nm inclusive, and a third peak wavelength in a range of 580 nm to 650 nm inclusive,

in a spectral distribution of combined light which is a combination of the light emitted by the first light emitting elements and the light emitted by the second light emitting elements, a ratio of a greatest value in a range of 500 nm to 560 nm inclusive to a smallest value in a range of 500 nm to 650 nm inclusive is 0.85 or lower,

the control circuit selectively executes a first mode for causing the first light emitting elements to emit light and a second mode for causing the first light emitting elements and the second light emitting elements to emit light, and

the mode switch switches between the first mode and the second mode.

2. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the combined light has a correlated color temperature of at least 5500 K and at most 7100 K.

3. The lighting apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

third light emitting elements that emit light having a correlated color temperature of at least 2600 K and at most 5500 K.

4. The lighting apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the second light emitting elements and the third light emitting elements emit brighter light when emitting light in the second mode than when emitting light in the first mode.

5. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first light emitting elements emit brighter light when emitting light in the first mode than when emitting light in the second mode.

6. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

light emitted by the lighting apparatus in the second mode has a brightness that is at least 1.1 times to at most 1.5 times a brightness of light emitted by the lighting apparatus in the first mode.

7. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

light emitted by the lighting apparatus in the second mode has a general color rendering index of at least 86 and at most 100.

8. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

light emitted by the lighting apparatus in the second mode has a feeling of contrast index (FCI) of at least 93 and at most 120.

9. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

light emitted by the lighting apparatus in the second mode has a chroma value of 2.0 or less, the chroma value being calculated using a calculation method stipulated by CIE 1997 Interim Color Appearance Model (Simple Version).

10. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a setter that sets an age or a generation of a user, wherein

the control circuit increases an amount of light emitted by the second light emitting elements in proportion to the age or the generation of the user set by the setter.

11. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a percentage of the second light emitting elements among the first light emitting elements and the second light emitting elements satisfies at least a 2 to 1 ratio in number of the first light emitting elements to the second light emitting elements.
