A light emitting device includes a light emitting diode chip (“LED”) that emits light having a dominant wavelength in the blue color range and a recipient luminophoric medium that is configured to down-convert at least some of the light emitted by the LED. The recipient luminophoric medium includes a green phosphor, a yellow phosphor, a first red phosphor having a first dominant wavelength and a second red phosphor having a second dominant wavelength that is different from the first dominant wavelength.
