Patent ID: 8348456

Claim:
An illuminating device comprising: a light-emitting part having more than one kind of luminescence sources disposed integrally, each kind of which emits a primary light with a different wavelength, wherein each luminescence source includes a solid light-emitting element and a phosphor, the primary light emitted from the luminescence sources are mixed as a composite light at a distance of at least 3 cm from a light emitting surface, an illumination intensity of the composite light at a distance of 30 cm from a light-emitting surface of said light-emitting part in a perpendicular direction is 150 lux or more, each luminescence source comprises a solid light-emitting element module formed by assembling said solid light-emitting elements as a solid light-emitting element module and a phosphor module formed by assembling said phosphors as a phosphor module, said solid light-emitting element module includes a plurality of said solid light-emitting elements, said phosphor module contains at least one phosphor at a position corresponding to each of said plurality of solid light-emitting elements, said solid light-emitting element module and said phosphor module are joined to constitute a light-emitting part where said more than one kind of luminescence sources are disposed integrally, said phosphor module is separately removable from the illuminating device, and said phosphor module has a phosphor-containing part and a transparent base which is a support for the phosphor-containing part.
