A light emitting device for controlled color rendition includes a support unit; a luminous element mounted on the support unit; and a wavelength conversion unit formed on the support unit. The wavelength conversion unit covers the luminous element as an encapsulant containing first light wavelength converters emitting light of a first wavelength and second light wavelength converters emitting light of a second wavelength, where the first wavelength is larger than the second wavelength. The wavelength conversion unit includes a first mixture region adjacent to the luminous element and a second mixture region above the first mixture region. The first light wavelength converters are concentratively distributed in the first mixture region, and the second light wavelength converters are concentratively distributed in the second mixture region.
