A lighting device comprising first and second groups of solid state light emitters, which emit light having dominant wavelength in ranges of from 430 nm to 480 nm and from 600 nm to 630 nm, respectively, and a first group of lumiphors which emit light having dominant wavelength in the range of from 555 nm to 585 nm. If current is supplied to a power line, a combination of (1) light exiting the lighting device which was emitted by the first group of emitters, and (2) light exiting the lighting device which was emitted by the first group of lumiphors would, in an absence of any additional light, produce a sub-mixture of light having x, y color coordinates within an area on a 1931 CIE Chromaticity Diagram defined by points having coordinates (0.32, 0.40), (0.36, 0.48), (0.43, 0.45), (0.42, 0.42), (0.36, 0.38). Also provided is a method of lighting.

A light emission device, including at least two LED dies having differing spectral output from one another; and phosphor material including one or more phosphors, arranged to receive spectral output from at least one of the LED dies and to responsively emit a phosphor output, as a component of a spectral output of the light emission device. In a specific arrangement, the multiple LED dies and phosphor material are arranged to produce a white light output having a color temperature selected from among (i) color temperature in a range of from 1350.degree. K to 1550.degree. K, (ii) color temperature in a range of from 2400.degree. K to 3550.degree. K and (iii) color temperature in a range of from 4950.degree. K to 6050.degree. K.
