Patent ID: 8328376

Claim:
A lighting device comprising: at least a first solid state light emitter; a housing; and at least one luminescent element, the luminescent element spaced from the first solid state light emitter, the luminescent element comprising at least a first luminescent element region and a second luminescent element region, the first luminescent element region comprising a first luminescent material, the second luminescent element region comprising a second luminescent material, the first luminescent material, upon being excited, emitting light of a first wavelength or range of wavelengths, the second luminescent material, upon being excited, emitting light of a second wavelength or range of wavelengths, the second wavelength or range of wavelengths differing from the first wavelength or range of wavelengths, the luminescent element and the housing surrounding an internal space, and at least the first solid state light emitter in the internal space.
