Definitions

the present invention relates to a lighting arrangement emitting light of a predefined spectrum, in particular to a lighting arrangement emitting light of an enhanced spectrum for mesopic vision.
LED lighting arrangements have been developed which enable the minimization of the electrical power consumption compared to the above-mentioned illumination devices. Moreover, the luminance of these LED lighting arrangements is considerably higher. Thereby, it is known to provide blue LEDs coated with a suitable phosphor in order to convert at least a portion of the emitted blue light into light of a longer wavelength, thus enabling the provision of a white light source.
both, the conventional and the known LED light sources are however not optimally designed with respect to the sensitivity of the human eye.
Light provided by a lighting device having a pedefined spectral distribution hits photoreceptors in the retina of the human eye, namely the "rods” and the “cones".
the rods are used for vision at reduced light levels, i.e. at so-called scotopic levels.
the rods are extremely sensitive to light, but provide achromatic vision.
the other type of photoreceptors of the human eye, the cones provide colour vision at photopic levels of illumination, but are less sensitive.
the light level during daytime corresponds to photopic levels such that the cones suppress the rods. Howevoer, in case of reduced levels of illumination and thus, at mesopic levels, the rods become more dominant.
the rods are most sensitive for light having a relative short wavelength, i.e. about 505nm, whereas the cones are most sensitive for light having a wavelength of about 555nm.
a melanopsin-associated photoreceptive system exists in the retina that conveys information for accessory visual functions such as for example the pupillary light reflex.
the human eye comprises spectral sensitivity characteristics which change with the provided illumination intensity respectively the provided light level. Thereby, different ranges of wavelength of light lead to specific reactions within the human eye.
WO2006/132533 A2 relates to a lighting arrangement which provides an improved visibility compared with conventional utility lighting.
the lighting arrangement is designed to emit light in a first wavelength region and light in a second wavelength region.
the first wavelength region comprises wavelengths of 500-550 nm.
the second wavelength region comprises wavelengths of 560-610 nm.
the lighting unit is designed to generate light having a dominant wavelength from the first wavelength region in such a way that the eye sensitivity of the human eye is dominated by rods.
WO 2009/013317 A1 relates to a lighting arrangement for illuminating an area under mesopic conditions.
the lighting arrangement has one or more LEDs emitting substantially monochromatic light in a first wavelength region.
the lighting arrangement further has one or more LEDs emitting substantially monochromatic light in a second wavelength region.
the combination of LEDs is such that, in use, the light provided by the lighting arrangement has a ratio of scotopic to photopic light (S/P-ratio) greater than 2.
the lighting arrangement described in the prior art can improve vision at low illumination levels, further improvement is desired.
the present invention particularly aims at providing a lighting arrangement emitting light of a particularly desired spectral distribution which helps the human eye to achieve an improved ability to see at mesopic conditions.
the present invention seeks to address the above-described problems.
the invention also aims at other objects and particularly the solution of other problems as will appear in the rest of the present description.
the present invention proposes a lighting arrangement comprising a supporting element having at least one blue LED light source being at least partially covered with colour conversion layer and designed to emit a light of at least a first wavelength region, and at least one red LED based light source being designed to emit light of at least a second wavelength region.

the spectrum comprises an intensity peak at about 440 to 480nm.
the emitted spectrum comprises a further intensity peak at about 600 to 650nm.
the adaption of the spectral distribution of the light emitted by the at least one blue and red LED source is meant, in order to match the spectral sensitivity of the human eye at a mesopic level of illumination.
the lighting arrangement comprises a plurality of blue LED light sources.
the ratio of the number of the blue and red LED light sources respectively is between 3.5 to 1 and 5 to 1.
the ratio of the number of the blue and red LED light sources respectively is 5 to 1.
the blue LED light sources are preferably blue LED dice.
the blue LED dice preferably emit light of a wavelength between 440 and 480nm.
the blue LED dice are at least partially covered with a LuAG: Ce 3+ phosphor. Accordingly, at least a portion of the emitted monochromatic light of the blue LED dice is converted to light of a longer wavelength. In particular, the light emitted by the blue LED dice is at least partially converted to light of greenish colour, i.e. to a wavelength of about 520 to 570nm.
a Cerium (Ce 3+ ) doped LuAG phosphor is available e.g. from Merck Chemicals, Darmstadt, Germany.
the blue LED dice may as well be at least partially covered by any green, greenish-yellow, or yellow colored light emitting phosphor(s) like garnets such as YAG (doped with Ce 3+ ), orthosilicates such as BOSE (doped with Eu 2+ ) or CaSr 2 O 4 (doped with Ce 3+ ) . Accordingly, at least a portion of the emitted monochromatic light of the blue LED dice is converted to light of a longer wavelength, in particular to light of green, greenish-yellow, or yellow colour and thus, to a wavelength of about 550 to 590nm.
any green, greenish-yellow, or yellow colored light emitting phosphor(s) like garnets such as YAG (doped with Ce 3+ ), orthosilicates such as BOSE (doped with Eu 2+ ) or CaSr 2 O 4 (doped with Ce 3+ ) . Accordingly, at least a portion of the emitted monochromat
the red LED light source is constituted by a red LED die. Accordingly, a monochromatic light source is provided which is designed to emit a light of a predefined wavelength that preferably lies between 605 and 635nm.
the red LED light source is constituted by a blue LED die being covered with a colour conversion layer that converts the light emitted by the blue LED die at least partially to light of a wavelength between 610 and 700nm.
the colour conversion layer preferably comprises a nitride comprising phosphor like SiONs, SiAlNs (e.g. CaAlSiN 3 :Eu 2+ as most widely spread red nitride compound nowadays) SiAlONs, Silicon oxynitrides, and carbonitrides.

an improved quality of the light perceived by the human eye is provided.
a relatively high scotopic to photopic light ratio (S/P-ratio) higher than 2 of the lighting arrangement is obtained.
the aim of such a spectrum to be provided is to stimulate the rods of the human eye in such a way that a specifically desired ratio between scotopic and photopic vision is obtained. It is further an aim to provide a particular amount of red light in the spectrum, since red light enables the provision of contrast in the foveal area of the human eye. Furthermore, the pupil size of the human eye has an influence on the mesopic vision of the human observer, which thus has to be considered.
the spectral distribution of the light emitted by the lighting arrangement preferably comprises an intensity peak at a wavelength of 440 to 480nm, preferably 440 to 460nm.
the scotopic cones and rods of the human eye are particularly stimulated.

the intensity of the emitted light at a wavelength of 470 to 490nm is about 1.5 to 6 times smaller compared to the intensity in the area of 440 to 480nm.
this particular wavelength region is referred to as Melanopsin area that has influence on the pupil size of the human eye. Thereby, it is desired to minimize the intensity of the provided light within this wavelength region in order to positively influence the pupil size of the human eye for mesopic vision.
the intensity of the emitted light lies between 50 and 85% of the light emitted in the wavelength region of 440 to 480nm.
the mesopic cones and rods are particularly stimulated.

the intensity of the emitted light comprises an intermediate peak 18 at about 510nm.
the light intensity is about 50 to 80% of the light intensity of the wavelength region of 450 to 460nm.
a minimum light intensity 19 is provided at a wavelength region between 580 and 600nm. Thereby, the minimum 19 is about 20 to 40%, more preferably 25 to 35% of the intensity peak 12 provided in the wavelength range of 610 and 630nm.
the intensity peak 12 of the spectrum 10, 10' is about 120 to 160%, more preferably between 130 and 145% of the light intensity of the peak located between 440 to 460nm.
