Abstract: A method for producing a fluorescent material is provided. The method includes preparing fluorescent material particles that contain an alkaline earth metal aluminate having a composition represented by (Sr1−x,Eux)4Al14O25, where x satisfies 0.05≤x≤0.4, and a part of Sr may be substituted by at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ca, Ba, and Zn; causing the prepared fluorescent material particles to come into contact with a liquid medium containing water; removing at least a portion of the contacted liquid medium to obtain purified fluorescent material particles; causing a phosphate compound to adhere to surfaces of the purified fluorescent material particles to obtain fluorescent material particles to which the phosphate compound is adhered; and heat treating the fluorescent material particles to which the phosphate compound is adhered at 500° C. to 700° C.

Abstract: A light-emitting device is provided. The light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element having a peak light-emitting wavelength in the range of 440 nm to 470 nm, and a fluorescent member. The fluorescent member includes a first fluorescent material having a peak light-emitting wavelength in the range of 480 nm to less than 520 nm, a second fluorescent material having a peak light-emitting wavelength in the range of 520 nm to less than 600 nm, and a third fluorescent material having a peak light-emitting wavelength in the range of 600 nm to 670 nm. The light-emitting device has a ratio of an effective radiant intensity for melatonin secretion suppression to an effective radiant intensity for blue-light retinal damage of 1.53 to 1.70 when the light-emitting device emits light with a correlated color temperature of 2700 K to less than 3500 K; 1.40 to 1.70 when the light-emitting device emits light with a correlated color temperature of 3500 K to less than 4500 K; 1.40 to 1.70 when the light-emitting device emits light with a correlated color temperature of 4500 K to less than 5700 K; and 1.35 to 1.65 when the light-emitting device emits light with a correlated color temperature of 5700 K to 7200 K.
