A white LED includes a light emitting element with a light emission peak wavelength equal to or longer than 380 nm and equal to or shorter than 420 nm, and a phosphor layer containing three or more types of phosphors including at least a blue phosphor, a green phosphor, and a red phosphor and disposed in a manner to cover at least part of the light emitting element. The phosphor layer has a first phosphor layer and a second phosphor layer disposed in an opposite side of a side of the light emitting element of the first phosphor layer. In the first phosphor layer, a content of the blue phosphor in an entire phosphor contained in the first phosphor layer is equal to or less than 5 mass %, or the blue phosphor is not contained. In the second phosphor layer, a content of phosphor other than the blue phosphor in an entire phosphor contained in the second phosphor layer is equal to or less than 5 mass %, or no phosphor other than the blue phosphor is contained.
