Abstract

An LED with a semiconductor light emitting element that emits a blue or a blue-violet light, and a fluorescent material that absorbs some or all of the light emitted from the element and emits a fluorescent light of a wavelength different from the absorbed light. The fluorescent material is a mixed fluorescent material obtained by mixing a first fluorescent material that emits a blue-green or a green light, a second fluorescent material that has a peak emission wavelength longer than that of the first fluorescent material and emits a green or a yellow-green light, a third fluorescent material that has a 1 peak emission wavelength longer than that of the second fluorescent material and emits a yellow-green, a yellow or a yellow-red light, and a fourth fluorescent material that has a peak emission wavelength longer than that of the third fluorescent material and emits a yellow-red or a red light.
