Patent attributes
A dimmable light source for emitting white overall radiation may include a dimmer and a light-emitting diode. The dimmer may vary a current intensity of a current for operating the light-emitting diode during the operation of the light source. The LED may include a semiconductor layer sequence to emit primary radiation, and the LED may further include a conversion element configured to at least partially convert the primary radiation into secondary radiation having a first emission band with a first emission maximum ranging from 400 nm to 500 nm and a second emission band with a second emission maximum ranging from 510 nm to 700 nm. A relative intensity of the first emission band may reduce with decreasing current intensity of the current for operating the LED, and a relative intensity of the second emission band may increase with decreasing current intensity of the current for operating the LED.
