Abstract

An LED lighting apparatus may comprise a white light emitting module including a first white LED package emitting first white light corresponding to a quadrangular region defined by (0.3100, 0.3203), (0.3082, 0.3301), (0.3168, 0.3388) and (0.3179, 0.3282) in the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram, a second white LED package emitting second white light corresponding to a quadrangular region defined by (0.4475, 0.3994), (0.4571, 0.4173), (0.4695, 0.4207) and (0.4589, 0.4021) in the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram, a green LED package emitting green light having a peak wavelength of 520 nm to 545 nm, and a driving controller controlling levels of luminous flux of the first white light and the second white light to select a color temperature of desired white light and controlling a luminous flux of the green LED package so as to reduce a difference between color coordinates corresponding to the selected color temperature of the white light, and a black body locus.
