Abstract

A lighting apparatus is disclosed. The lighting apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a white light emitting device including at least one first light emitter and a wavelength converter to implement white light; and at least one second light emitter emitting light having a different peak wavelength. The wavelength converter can include a plurality of wavelength conversion substances to convert light of the first light emitter into white light. The lighting apparatus can emit the white light implemented in the white light emitting device and light generated by the second light emitter to the outside, and, the light emitted by the second light emitter can include an irradiance spectrum having a wavelength region with a greater irradiance that an irradiance of the light emitted from the white light emitting device within the same wavelength region.

wherein:
the peak wavelength of the light emitted from the at least one first light emitter is in a range of blue light;
the different peak wavelength of the second light is in a low visibility range of about 605 nm to about 935 nm;
the wavelength converter comprises one or more wavelength converting materials to convert light emitted from the at least one first light emitter into the first light;
