[0001]2024PF80279 1 PHOSPHOR CONVERTED RED LED LIGHT SOURCE COMPRISING A CONVERTER WITH EXTRA PROTECTED KSIF PARTICLES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a light generating system comprising a luminescent converter. The invention further relates to the luminescent converter. The invention further relates to a lighting device comprising said light generating system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Light generating systems are known in the art. For instance, US20240120448A1 describes a red-light emitting device comprising: a blue LED chip; and a photoluminescence material comprising a narrowband red fluoride phosphor and a broadband red phosphor. The narrowband red phosphor may comprise a manganese-activated fluoride phosphor of composition K2SiF6:Mn4+, K2GeF6:Mn4+, and K2TiF6:Mn4+. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Conventional light generating systems (e.g. incandescent or fluorescent lamps) are rapidly being replaced by light emitting diode (LED) based lighting solutions. LED-based lighting solutions may generally comprise a light source and a luminescent converter, wherein the luminescent converter may comprise multiple types of phosphors, such as a yellow and a red phosphor, to produce light with a suitable color or color temperature. Prior art systems may make use of narrow-band fluoride red phosphors. However, due to their intrinsic hygroscopic nature, these phosphors may degrade over time due to contact with moisture, thereby reducing the lifetime of the light generating system and / or causing a change in optical properties of the system light over time. Further, prior art solutions may have problems with self-absorption in the phosphor layer, wherein light emitted by a first type of phosphor is absorbed by a second type of phosphor, thereby reducing the efficiency of the system and altering one or more of the correlated color temperature (CCT), color rendering index (CRI), and color point of the system light. As such, there appears to be a desire for light generating systems that may especially be efficient and have stable (moisture-resistant) spectral properties. Especially, it may be desired to provide a light generating system based on narrow-band fluoride red 2024PF80279 2 phosphors with high luminous efficiency, high color quality, and improved stability of the phosphor. To produce light with a suitable color temperature, the luminescent converter may comprise multiple types of phosphor, such as different types of red phosphor. One particularly interesting type of red phosphor is a “KSiF”-type red phosphor. However, such “KSiF”-type phosphors suffer from degradation due to light and moisture exposure, therewith reducing its reliability. Furthermore, there appears to be a desire to provide light with a high CRI and / or (early stage) tunable spectral power distributions. However, prior art solutionsmay have problems to provide high CRIs, efficient solutions, and / or stable solutions. Hence,it is an aspect of the invention to provide an alternative light generating system, which preferably further at least partly obviates one or more of above-described drawbacks. The present invention may have as object to overcome or ameliorate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art, or to provide a useful alternative. According to a first aspect, the invention provides a light generating system comprising a first light generating device. In embodiments, the first light generating device may comprise a first solid state light source and a luminescent converter. The first solid-state light source may be configured to generate light source light. In embodiments, the light source light may have a first peak emission wavelength (λp1) selected from the range of 430- 490 nm. Further, in embodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured in a light receiving relationship with the first solid-state light source. Hence, in embodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured downstream of the first solid state light source. In embodiments, the luminescent converter may comprise a first particulate luminescent material, a second particulate luminescent material, and a main matrix material. Especially, the first particulate luminescent material and the second particulate luminescent material may be configured embedded in the main matrix material. In embodiments, the first particulate luminescent material may comprise a first luminescent material configured to convert at least part of the light source light received by the first luminescent material into first luminescent material light. The first luminescent material light may especially have a first centroid wavelength (λc1) selected from the range of 600-660 nm. Moreover, in embodiments, the second particulate luminescent material may comprise (i) a second particulate matrix material and (ii) primary particles comprising a second luminescent material (different from the first luminescent material). Especially, the primary particles may be configured embedded in the second particulate matrix material. Moreover, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may be different from the main matrix material. The second luminescent material may, in embodiments, comprise a luminescent material of the type M’xM2-2xAX6 doped with 2024PF80279 3 tetravalent manganese. Especially, in embodiments, M’ may comprise an alkaline earth cation. More especially, M may comprise an monovalent cation (especially an alkaline cation). Further, in embodiments, A may comprise a tetravalent cation. Yet further, in embodiments, X may comprise a monovalent anion, at least comprising fluorine (F). In embodiments, the second luminescent material may be configured to convert at least part of the light source light received by the second luminescent material into second luminescent material light. The second luminescent material light may especially have a second centroid wavelength (λc2) selected from the range of 610-650 nm. Additionally, in embodiments, the second luminescent material light may have a second full width at half maximum (FWHM2) of ≤ 50 nm, such as ≤ 40 nm, especially ≤ 35 nm. In embodiments, the first light generating device may be configured to generate first device light comprising the first luminescent material light and the second luminescent material light. Especially, in embodiments, the first device light may have a first device centroid wavelength (λcd,1) selected from the range of 610-660 nm. Hence, in specific embodiments, the invention may provide a light generating system comprising a first light generating device, wherein the first light generating device may comprise a first solid state light source and a luminescent converter, wherein: (A) the first solid-state light source may be configured to generate light source light having a firstpeak emission wavelength (λp1) selected from the range of 430-490 nm; (B) the luminescentconverter may be configured in a light receiving relationship with the first solid-state light source; wherein the luminescent converter may comprise a first particulate luminescent material, a second particulate luminescent material, and a main matrix material; wherein the first particulate luminescent material and the second particulate luminescent material may be configured embedded in the main matrix material; (C) the first particulate luminescent material may comprise a first luminescent material configured to convert at least part of the light source light received by the first luminescent material into first luminescent material light having a first centroid wavelength (λc1), wherein the first centroid wavelength (λc1) may be selected from the range of 600-660 nm; (D) the second particulate luminescent material may comprise (i) a second particulate matrix material and (ii) primary particles comprising a second luminescent material (different from the first luminescent material), wherein the primary particles may be configured embedded in the second particulate matrix material; wherein the second particulate matrix material may be different from the main matrix material; wherein the second luminescent material may comprise a luminescent material of the type M’xM2-2xAX6 doped with tetravalent manganese, wherein M’ comprises an alkaline earth cation, wherein M comprises an monovalent cation (especially an alkaline cation), 2024PF80279 4 wherein A comprises a tetravalent cation, and wherein X comprises a monovalent anion, at least comprising fluorine (F); wherein the second luminescent material may be configured to convert at least part of the light source light received by the second luminescent material into second luminescent material light having a second centroid wavelength (λc2), wherein the second centroid wavelength (λc2) may be selected from the range of 610-650 nm; (E) the first light generating device may be configured to generate first device light comprising the first luminescent material light and the second luminescent material light; and wherein the first device light may have a first device centroid wavelength (λcd,1) selected from the range of 610-660 nm. Such a light generating system, wherein a first particulate material and a second particulate material may comprise different types of phosphors, may provide the benefit that the optical performance of a narrow band red phosphor and a broad band redphosphor may be combined. The reason is that with the introduction of narrow band (red)phosphor, such as KSiF, the light generating device, such as e.g. a LED, may be very efficient and may provide high quality light e.g. high red rendering. Further, embedding the (relatively) small primary particles in a second particulate matrix material comprised by second particulate luminescent material may provide first and second luminescent material particles having a roughly equal size. Such a configuration may provide a homogeneous distribution of the first and second luminescent material particles in the main matrix material, and therefore a homogeneous distribution of the first and second luminescent material. Further, the present solution may provide a relatively stable solution. Thus, such a light generating system may provide improved opticalperformance e.g. due to improved light quality, efficiency and / or reliability.The embodiments of the invention may further provide such a phosphor system (comprising both narrow band and broad band (red) phosphors) while providing maximum reliability of the phosphor through an improved moisture-resistance (thus improved lifetime) and improved dispersing properties in the matrix material (e.g. sedimentation and / or phosphor clustering). Hence, the light generating system may provide a compromise of high quality light together with improved stability of the phosphor (and thus the system). Moreover, the herein applied materials may be non-reactive, stable and resistant to both extreme temperatures and (blue) high light intensities. Hence, the invention may provide a phosphor converted red LED light source comprising a converter with extra protected KSiF particles. 2024PF80279 5 The light generating system (or “system”) may thus comprise a first light generating device. The first light generating device may especially comprise a first solid state light source and a luminescent converter. Here below, embodiments of the different elements of the first light generating device will be described in further detail. In embodiments, the second particulate luminescent material comprises N second luminescent material particles, wherein N may be at least 100 or at least 500 or at least 1000 such as at least 5000 or at least 10000. In embodiments, the second particulate luminescent material comprises second luminescent material particles, wherein each second luminescent material particle comprisesM primary particles, wherein M may be at least 5 or at least 10 or at least 15 such as at least20 or at least 25. In embodiments, the first particulate luminescent material comprises O first luminescent material particles, wherein O may be at least 100 or at least 500 or at least 1000 such as at least 5000 or at least 10000. In embodiments, the first light generating device may comprise a first solid state light source. The (first) solid state light source may be any solid state light source known in the art (see below). Especially, the (first) solid state light source may be a (single) light emitting diode (LED). Alternatively, the (first) solid state light source may be selected from the group of a laser diode, a superluminescent diode, and a multi-junction light emitting diode. In embodiments, the (first) solid state light source may especially comprise one or more light emitting diodes. Especially, in embodiments, the (first) solid state light source may comprise a plurality of light emitting diodes. Hence, in specific embodiments, the (first) solid state light source may be selected from the group of a light emitting diode, a laser diode, a superluminescent diode, and a multi-junction light emitting diode. Such a solid state light source may be relatively small. Further, such a solid state light source may be relatively energy-efficient and / or provide relatively high-intensity light. The first solid state light source may be configured to generate first light source light. The first light source light may have a first peak emission wavelength (λp1) selected from the range of 380-490 nm, such as from the range of 400-490 nm, especially from the range of 420-490 nm, like from the range of 430-490 nm. Hence, the first light source light may be violet light or blue light. The term “violet light”, and similar terms, may especially relate to light having a wavelength in the range of about 380-440 nm. The term“blue light”, and similar terms, may especially relate to light having a wavelength in therange of about 440-490 nm. The term “peak wavelength” may refer to the wavelength where 2024PF80279 6 the radiometric emission spectrum of the light source reaches its maximum, i.e., the peak wavelength may denote the wavelength at which the largest (emission intensity) value is found in a graph of the spectral power distribution. The peak wavelength may especially be determined at room temperature. The light generating system, especially the first light generating device, may further comprise a luminescent converter. The luminescent converter may be configured in physical contact and covering (a light escape surface of) the one or more solid-state lightsources. That is, the luminescent converter may be configured as a coating. Hence, in specificembodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured as a coating, wherein the luminescent converter may be configured covering and in physical contact with the one or more solid-state light sources. Configuring the luminescent converter as a coating may improve the efficiency with which the light source light is coupled into the luminescent converter, as the light source light may be (essentially) not be refracted at a first interface between the one or more solid-state light sources and air, and at a second interface between air and the luminescent converter. Alternatively, the luminescent converter may be configured as a self- supporting luminescent body. In such embodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured: (i) in physical contact with the one or more solid-state light sources, or (ii) at a non-zero distance d1 from (the light escape surfaces of) the one or more solid-state light sources. The non-zero distance d1 may be selected from the range of ≥ 5 µm, such as from the range of ≥ 10 µm, especially from the range of ≥ 25 µm. Additionally or alternatively, the non-zero distance d1may be selected from the range of ≤ 10 cm, such as from the range of ≤ 5 cm, especially from the range of ≤ 1 cm. The luminescent converter may be physically separated from the one or more solid-state light sources. In embodiments, the luminescent converter may especially be configured in a light receiving relationship with the first solid state light source. Hence, the luminescent converter may be configured downstream from the first solid state light source. The terms“upstream” and “downstream” relate to an arrangement of items or features relative to thepropagation of the light from a light generating means (here especially the solid state light source), wherein relative to a first position within a beam of light from the light generating means, a second position in the beam of light closer to the light generating means is “upstream”, and a third position within the beam of light further away from the light generating means is “downstream”. Hence, in specific embodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured downstream from the first solid state light source. Especially, in 2024PF80279 7 embodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured in physical contact with the first solid state light source. The luminescent material may especially comprise a luminescent material. The term “luminescent material” may refer to a material that can convert first radiation, especially one or more of UV radiation and blue radiation, into second radiation. Herein, UV (ultraviolet) may especially refer to a wavelength selected from the range of 190-380 nm, such as 200-380 nm, though other wavelengths may also be possible. In general, the first radiation and second radiation have different spectral power distributions, with the second radiation having a spectral power distribution at larger wavelengths than the first radiation (i.e. “down-conversion”). In embodiments, the term “luminescent material” may especially refer to a material that can convert radiation into e.g. visible and / or infrared light. The terms “visible light” or “visible emission”, and similar terms, refer to light having one or more wavelengths in the range of about 380-780 nm. Further, infrared (IR) may refer to radiation having a wavelength selected from the range of 780-3000 nm, such as 780-2000 nm, e.g. a wavelength up to about 1500 nm, though in specific embodiments other wavelengths may also be possible. For instance, in embodiments the (first and second, see also further below) luminescent material may be able to convert one or more of UV radiation and blue radiation, into visible light. Hence, upon excitation with radiation, the luminescent material may emit radiation. In general, the luminescent material will be a down converter, i.e. radiation with a smaller wavelength is converted into radiation with a larger wavelength (λex<λem). In embodiments, the term “luminescence” may refer to phosphorescence. In embodiments, the term “luminescence” may also refer to fluorescence. Instead of the term “luminescence”, also the term “luminescent material light” or “emission” may be applied. Hence, the terms “first radiation” and “second radiation” may refer to excitation radiation and emission (radiation), respectively. Likewise, the term “luminescent material” may in embodiments refer to phosphorescence and / or fluorescence. The term “luminescent material” may also refer to a plurality of different luminescent materials. Examples of possible luminescent materials are indicated below. Hence, the term “luminescent material” may in specific embodiments also refer to a luminescent material composition. Instead of the term “luminescent material” also the term “phosphor” may be applied. These terms are known to the person skilled in the art. The luminescent converter may especially comprise a first particulate luminescent material and a second particulate luminescent material. Furthermore, in embodiments, the luminescent converter may comprise a matrix material (see also further 2024PF80279 8 below). The first particulate luminescent material may especially be configured embedded in the matrix material. Similarly, the second particulate luminescent material may especially be configured embedded in the matrix material. Such a configuration may provide a homogeneous distribution of the first and second particulate luminescent material in the main matrix material, and therefore a homogeneous distribution of the first and second luminescent material. In embodiments, the first particulate luminescent material may comprise a first luminescent material. The first luminescent material may especially be configured to convertat least part of the light source light received by the first luminescent material into firstluminescent material light. Especially, the first luminescent material may be configured to convert ≥ 50%, such as ≥ 60%, especially ≥ 70%, of (a spectral power of) the light source light received by the first luminescent material into first luminescent material light. Further, the first luminescent material may be configured to convert ≥ 80%, such as ≥ 90%, especially ≥ 95%, like ≥ 98%, including (essentially) 100%, of (a spectral power of) the light source light received by the first luminescent material into first luminescent material light. The first luminescent material light may have a first centroid wavelength (λc1). The term “centroid wavelength”, also indicated as λC, is known in the art, and refers to the wavelength value (in nm) where half of the light energy is at shorter and half the energy is at longer wavelengths. It is the wavelength that divides the integral of a spectral power distribution into two equal parts as expressed by the formula λc = Σ λ*I(λ) / (Σ I( λ)), where the summation is over the wavelength range of interest, and I(λ) is the spectral energy density (i.e. the integration of the product of the wavelength and the intensity over the emission bandnormalized to the integrated intensity). The centroid wavelength may e.g. be determined atoperation conditions. In embodiments, the first centroid wavelength (λc1) may be selected from the range of 600-660 nm, like from the range of 610-650 nm, such as from the range of 620-640 nm. Hence, in embodiments, the first luminescent material light may comprise, such as be, one or more of orange light and red light, such as especially red light. The terms “orange light” or “orange emission”, and similar terms, may especially relate to light having a wavelength in the range of about 590-620 nm. The terms “red light” or “red emission”, and similar terms, may especially relate to light having a wavelength in the range of about 620- 780 nm. Additionally, in embodiments, the first luminescent material light may have a first full width at half maximum (FWHM1) of ≥ 60 nm, such as ≥ 70 nm, especially ≥ 80 nm. 2024PF80279 9 Conversely, in embodiments, the second particulate luminescent material may comprise a second particulate matrix material and primary particles. The primary particles may especially be configured embedded in the second particulate matrix material. In embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may especially be different from the main matrix material, see also further below. Further, in embodiments, the primary particles may comprise a second luminescent material. The second luminescent material may especially be different from the first luminescent material. For example, in embodiments, the first luminescent material and the second luminescent material may comprise a different type of phosphor, see also further below. In embodiments, the second luminescent material may be configured to convert at least part of the light source light received by the second luminescent material into second luminescent material light. Especially, the second luminescent material may be configured to convert ≥ 50%, such as ≥ 60%, especially ≥ 70%, of (a spectral power of) the light source light received by the second luminescent material into second luminescent material light. Further, the second luminescent material may be configured to convert ≥ 80%, such as ≥ 90%, especially ≥ 95%, like ≥ 98%, including (essentially) 100%, of (a spectral power of) the light source light received by the second luminescent material into second luminescent material light. The second luminescent material light may have a second centroid wavelength (λc2). In embodiments, the second centroid wavelength (λc2) may be selected from the range of 600-660 nm, like from the range of 610-650 nm, such as from the range of 620-640 nm, especially from the range of 625-635 nm. Hence, in embodiments, the second luminescent material light may comprise, such as be, one or more of orange light and red light, such as especially red light. Further, the second luminescent material light may comprise at least one emission band having a (second) full width at half maximum FWHM2 of ≤ 65 nm, such as ≤ 55 nm, especially ≤ 40 nm. Further, the second luminescent material light may comprise atleast one emission band having a full width at half maximum FWHM2 of ≤ 35 nm, such as ≤30 nm, especially ≤ 25 nm. Additionally or alternatively, the second luminescent material light may comprise the at least one emission band having a full width at half maximum FWHM2 of ≥ 2 nm, such as ≥ 5 nm, especially ≥ 7 nm. In embodiments, the second luminescent material light may comprise a plurality of emission bands, wherein at least one band may have the full width at half maximum FWHM2. Additionally or alternatively, the 2024PF80279 10 second luminescent material light may comprise a plurality of emission bands, wherein essentially all of the emission bands may have the full width at half maximum FWHM2. The term “emission band” may refer to the emission (spectral power distribution) resulting from a radiative transition of electrons from (vibrational levels of) a first higher-energy excited state to (vibrational levels of) a second lower-energy (ground) state, wherein a larger number of vibrational levels in (one or more of) the first excited state and second (ground) state results in a broader emission band (spanning a larger wavelength range). Further, the term “full width at half maximum” (or “FWHM”) refers to the width of (the spectral power distribution of) the emission band at half the maximum intensity of said emission band. The FWHM of an emission band may especially be determined at room temperature. Hence, in embodiments the second luminescent material light may have a second centroid wavelength (λc2) selected from the wavelength range of 610-650 nm, and may comprise one or more emission bands having a full width half maximum (FWHM2) of at maximum 50 nm. Such conditions may especially apply for luminescent materials of the type M’xM2-2xAX6doped with tetravalent manganese. Hence, in embodiments, the second luminescent material may comprise a tetravalent manganese-comprising luminescent material, i.e., a luminescent material doped with tetravalent manganese. Especially, in embodiments, the second luminescent material may comprise a luminescent material of the type M’xM2-2xAX6 doped with tetravalent manganese, wherein M’ comprises an alkaline earth cation, M comprises a monovalent cation, and x may be selected from the range of 0-1, wherein A comprises a tetravalent cation, for instance comprising one or more of silicon and titanium, and wherein X comprises a monovalent anion, at least comprising fluorine. Such luminescent materials may herein also be indicated as “KSiF” or “KSF”, whether or not M comprises K or one or more other (alkaline) cations. A luminescent material of the type M’xM2-2xAX6doped with tetravalent manganese is amongst others described in WO2013121355A1, which is herein incorporated by reference. Passages from WO2013121355A1 are also copied herein. In embodiments, the alkaline earth cation M’ may comprise one or more of magnesium (Mg), strontium (Sr), calcium (Ca) and barium (Ba), especially one or more of Sr and Ba. Further, the monovalent cations M may comprise one or more of sodium (Na), potassium (K) and rubidium (Rb). Optionally, M may (further) comprise one or more of ammonium (NH4+), lithium (Li), and cesium (Cs). Hence, in embodiments, M may comprise one or more of K, Rb, Li, Na, Cs, and NH4+. In a preferred embodiment, M comprises at least potassium. In yet another embodiment, M comprises at least rubidium. The phrase “wherein M comprises at least potassium” indicates for instance 2024PF80279 11 that of all M cations in a mole M’xM2-2xAX6, a fraction comprises K+and an optionally remaining fraction comprises one or more other monovalent (alkaline) cations (see also below). In another preferred embodiment, M comprises at least potassium and rubidium. Optionally, the M’xM2-2xAX6 luminescent material has the hexagonal phase. In yet another embodiment, the M’xM2-2xAX6luminescent material has the cubic phase. In an embodiment, a combination of different alkaline cations M may be applied. In yet another embodiment, a combination of different alkaline earth cations M’ may be applied. In yet another embodiment, a combination of one or more alkaline cations M and one or more alkaline earth cations M’ may be applied. For instance, KRb0.5Sr0.25AX6might be applied. As indicated above, x in the formula M’xM2-2xAX6 may be selected from the range of 0-1, especially x ≤ 1. In specific embodiments, x = 0. The term “tetravalent manganese” refers to Mn4+. This is a well-known luminescent ion. In the formula as indicated above, part of the tetravalent cation A (such as Si) is being replaced by manganese. Hence, M’xM2-2xAX6 doped with tetravalent manganese may also be indicated as M’xM2-2xA1-mMnmX6(or M’xM2-2xAX6:Eu). The mole percentage of manganese, i.e. the percentage it replaces the tetravalent cation A will in general be in the range of 0.1-15 %, especially 1-12 %, i.e. m is in the range of 0.001-0.15, especially in therange of 0.01-0.12. As manganese replaces part of a host lattice ion and has a specificfunction, it is also indicated as “dopant” or “activator”. Hence, the hexafluorosilicate is doped or activated with manganese (Mn4+). In embodiments, A may comprise a tetravalent cation, and preferably at least comprises silicon. A may optionally (further) comprise one or more of titanium (Ti), germanium (Ge), stannum (Sn) and zinc (Zn). Preferably, at least 80%, even more preferablyat least 90%, such as at least 95% of A consists of silicon.

X is preferably fluorine (F). Further, in a specific embodiment, M’xM2-2xAX6can also be described as MgmgCacaSrsrBaba(KkRbrLilNanCsc(NH4)nh)2AX6, with k, r, l, n, c, nh each individually being in the range of 0-1, wherein mg, ca, sr, ba are each individually in the range of 0-1, and wherein mg+ca+sr+ba+k+ r+ l+n+c+nh=1. In embodiments, k=1, and the others (mg, ca, sr, ba, r, l, n, c, nh) are zero. 2024PF80279 12 As indicated above, X relates to a monovalent anion, but at least comprises fluorine. Other monovalent anions that may optionally be present may be selected from the group consisting of chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). Preferably, at least 80%, even more preferably at least 90%, such as 95% of X consists of fluorine. Hence, in a specific embodiment, M’xM2-2xAX6can also be described as M’xM2-2xA(F1-cl-b-iClclBrbIi)6, wherein cl,b,i are each individually preferably in the range of 0-0.2, especially in the range of 0-0.1, even more especially in the range of 0-0.05, and wherein cl+b+i < 1, especially ≤ 0.2,preferably in the range of 0-0.2, especially in the range of 0-0.1, even more especially in therange of 0-0.05. Hence, M’xM2-2xAX6can also be described as (K1-r-l-n-c-nhRbrLilNanCsc(NH4)nh)2Si1-m-t-g-s-zrMnmTitGegSnsZrzr(F1-cl-b-iClclBrbIi)6, with the values for r,l,n,c,nh,m,t,g,s,zr,cl,b,i as indicated above. In an embodiment, M’xM2-2xAX6 comprises K2SiF6 (indicated herein also as KSiF system). In another preferred embodiment, M’xM2-2xAX6 comprises KRbSiF6 (herein also indicated as K,Rb system). In specific embodiments, the indication M’xM2-2xAX6 may refer to one or more of (K,Rb)2SiF6:Mn4+, (K,Rb)2TiF6:Mn4+, K2(Si,Ti)F6:Mn4+, and Rb2(Si,Ti)F6:Mn4+, such as one or more of K2TiF6:Mn4+, of K2SiF6:Mn4+, and of Rb2SiF6:Mn4+. As can be derived from the above, “(Si,Ti)” may indicate one or more of Si and Ti. Hence, in specific embodiments, the second luminescent material may comprise one or more of (K,Rb)2SiF6:Mn4+and K2(Si,Ti)F6:Mn4+. The luminescent material may also be coated, as also described in WO2013121355A1. Hence, when M’ (or M, or A) in chemical formulas refer to n different elements, this may imply that the relevant formula may comprise for the M’ (or M, or A) position in the formula essentially any permutation of the n different elements. For instance, when M’=Ba,Sr,Ca or when M’ comprises one or more of Ba,Sr,Ca or when M’ refers to Ba,Sr,Ca, this may imply that in the formula Ba, Sr, Ca, (BaxSry), (BaxCay), (CaxSry), or (BaxSryCaz), may be available, wherein in general x+y+z=1. Referring to e.g. M’xM2-2xAX6, this may refer to e.g. one or more of K2SiF6:Mn4+, Rb2SiF6:Mn4+, and (KxRby)2SiF6:Mn4+, etc.. Further, indications like “K,Rb” or “Ba,Sr,Ca”, and similar indications (see also above), may indicate one or more of such elements. Hence, (K,Rb)2SiF6:Mn4+, may e.g. refer to K2SiF6:Mn4+, Rb2SiF6:Mn4+, or (KxRby)2SiF6:Mn4+. Also herein in general x+y=1. Hence, when M’ (or M, or A) may refer to n different elements, with n being at least two, 2n-1 permutations may in principle be possible. As indicated above, the second particulate material, especially the primary particles, may comprise a second luminescent material. In embodiments, the second 2024PF80279 13 luminescent material may be selected from any of the luminescent materials provided above. Especially, the second luminescent material may comprise a luminescent material of the type of tetravalent manganese doped luminescent materials. Even more especially, the second luminescent material may comprise (such as consist of) a luminescent material of the type M’xM2-2xAX6doped with tetravalent manganese, wherein (i) M’ comprises an alkaline earth cation, (ii) M comprises a(n alkaline) cation, (iii) A comprises a tetravalent cation, comprising one or more of silicon and titanium, (iv) X comprises a monovalent anion, such as one or more of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, wherein X at least comprises fluorine, and (v) x is in the range of 0-1 (see also above). In embodiments, as indicated above, a luminescent material of the type M’xM2-2xAX6 doped with tetravalent manganese may be referred to as a KSiF phosphor. Hence, in embodiments, the invention may provide a light generating system using KSiF phosphor particles as converter. Conversely, in embodiments, the first luminescent material may comprise a luminescent material selected from garnets and nitrides, especially doped with trivalent cerium or divalent europium, respectively. However, other types of luminescent materials are herein not excluded. The term “nitride” may also refer to oxynitride or nitridosilicate, etc. Alternatively or additionally, the first luminescent material may comprise a luminescent material selected from silicates, especially doped with divalent europium. In embodiments, the first luminescent material may comprise a divalent europium comprising oxynitride luminescent material. Further, in embodiments, the first luminescent material may comprise a divalent europium comprising nitride luminescent material. In specific embodiments, the first luminescent material may be selected from a divalent europium comprising oxynitride luminescent material and a divalent europium comprising nitride luminescent material. In embodiments, the first luminescent material and the second luminescent material may thus be different luminescent materials. Moreover, in embodiments, the first luminescent material light and the second luminescent material light may have a different centroid wavelength. Especially, in embodiments, |λc2-λc1|≥5 nm, such as |λc2-λc1|≥10 nm, like|λc2-λc1|≥15 nm, especially |λc2-λc1|≥20 nm. Further, in embodiments, |λc2-λc1|≤50 nm, such as|λc2-λc1|≤40 nm, like |λc2-λc1|≤35 nm, especially |λc2-λc1|≤25 nm. Especially, in embodiments, the second centroid wavelength may be relatively larger than the first centroid wavelength. Hence, in such embodiments, λc1+5 nm≤ λc2, such as λc1+10 nm≤ λc2, like λc1+15 nm≤ λc2. Moreover, in such embodiments, λc1+450 nm≤ λc2, such as λc1+30 nm≤ λc2, like λc1+20 nm≤ λc2. Hence, in specific embodiments, one or more of the following applies: |λc2-λc1|≥10 nm and λc1+10 nm≤ λc2. 2024PF80279 14 The first light generating device may thus comprise a first particulate luminescent material and a second particulate luminescent material. In embodiments, the first light generating device may be configured to generate first device light. Especially, in embodiments, the first device light may comprise the first luminescent material light and the second luminescent material light. The first device light may especially have a first device light centroid wavelength (λcd,1). In embodiments, the first device light centroid wavelength (λcd,1) may be selected from the wavelength range of 600-660 nm, like from the range of 610- 650 nm, such as from the range of 620-640 nm, especially from the range of 625-635 nm. Hence, in embodiments, the first device light may comprise, such as be, one or more of orange light and red light, such as especially red light. As described above, the first luminescent material may be comprised by a first particulate luminescent material. In embodiments, the first particulate luminescent material may comprise three-dimensional particles having dimensions (first) length (L1), (first) width (W1), and (first) height (H1).

Further, in embodiments, the first particulate luminescent material may have a first number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D1). The equivalent spherical diameter (or ESD) of an (irregularly) shaped object is the diameter of a sphere of equivalent volume. Hence, the equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) of a cubewith a side a is 2 ∗ ^ ∗^^3 / (4 ∗ π). Would a sphere in an xyz-coordinate system with a diameter D be distorted to any other shape (in the xyz-plane), without changing the volume, than the equivalent spherical diameter of that shape would be D. The equivalent circular diameter (or ECD) (or “circular equivalent diameter”) of an (irregularly shaped) two- dimensional shape is the diameter of a circle of equivalent area. For instance, the equivalent circular diameter of a square with side a is 2a / (SQRT(π)). For a circle, the diameter D is the same as the equivalent circular diameter D. Would a circle in an xy-plane with a diameter D be distorted to any other shape (in the xy-plane), without changing the area size, then the equivalent circular diameter of that shape would be D. In embodiments, the first number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D1) may be determined by dividing the sum of the first equivalent circular diameters of all first particulate luminescent material particles in the luminescent converter by the number of said first particulate luminescent material particles, i.e. for a luminescent converter comprising N first particulate luminescent material particles, the first number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D1) may be provided by∑^ ^^. 2024PF80279 15 In embodiments, the first number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D1) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm.

In embodiments, the second particulate luminescent material may similarly comprise three-dimensional particles having dimensions (second) length (L2), (second) width (W2), and (second) height (H2). Further, in embodiments, the second particulate material may have a second number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D2). In embodiments, thesecond number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D2) may be selected from the range of5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. Additionally or alternatively, the second length (L2) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. Further, the second width (W2) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7- 45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. Further still, in embodiments, the second height (H2) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm.

In embodiments wherein L2= W2= H2, the second particulate material particles may especially comprise a spherical shape. Further, in embodiments, the second number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D2), the second length (L2), the second width (W2), and the second height (H2) may for each of the second luminescent material particles be individually selected from the range of 5-50 µm. In embodiments, the second length (L2) and second width (W2) may define a second aspect ratio AR2 of the second particulate material particles. In embodiments, the second aspect ratio AR2 may be selected from the range of 1-15, such as from the range of 1-10, especially from the range of 1-5. In embodiments wherein AR2≥ 2 or AR2≥ 3, the second particulate material particles may especially have an elongated shape. In embodiments, the primary particles may similarly comprise three- dimensional particles having dimensions (third) length (L3), (third) width (W3), and (third) height (H3). Further, in embodiments, the primary particles may have a third number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D3). In embodiments, the third number averagedequivalent circular diameter (D3) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as fromthe range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. Additionally or alternatively, the third length (L3) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7- 45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. Further, the third width (W3) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. Further still, in embodiments, the third height (H3) may be selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. Hence, in embodiments, the third number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D3), the third length (L3), the third width (W3), and the third height (H3) may be individually selected from the range of 5-50 µm, such as from the range of 7-45 µm, especially from the range of 10-40 µm. In embodiments wherein L3= W3= H3, the primary particles may especially comprise a spherical shape. Further, in embodiments, the third number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D3), the third length (L3), the third width (W3), and the third height (H3) may for each of the primary particles be individually selected from the range of 5-50 µm. In embodiments, the primary particles may be smaller than the first particulate luminescent material particles, i.e., D3 / D1 ≤ 1, such as D3 / D1 ≤ 0.9, like D3 / D1 ≤ 0.7. Additionally, in embodiments, the primary particles may be smaller than the second particulate luminescent material particles, i.e. D3 / D2 ≤ 1, such as D3 / D2 ≤ 0.9, like D3 / D2 ≤ 0.7. Especially, in embodiments, D3 ≤ 0.7*D2 and D3 ≤ 0.7*D1, such as D3 ≤ 0.5*D2 and D3 ≤ 0.5*D1, like D3 ≤ 0.3*D2 and D3 ≤ 0.3*D1, especially D3 ≤ 0.2*D2 and D3 ≤ 0.2*D1. 2024PF80279 17 Further, in embodiments, the first particulate luminescent material and the second particulate luminescent material may be about equal in size. Especially, in embodiments, 0.2 ≤ D2 / D1 ≤ 5, such as 0.3 ≤ D2 / D1 ≤ 3.5, especially 0.5 ≤ D2 / D1 ≤ 2, more especially 0.8 ≤ D2 / D1 ≤ 1.2. Hence, in specific embodiments, the first particulate luminescent material has a first number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D1), the second particulate luminescent material has a second number averaged equivalent circular diameter (D2), and 0.5 ≤ D2 / D1 ≤ 2. Such a size ratio between the first particulate luminescent material particles and the second particulate luminescent material particles may facilitate an even mixing of the luminescent material particles. Further, such a size ratio may facilitate a homogeneous dispersion of luminescent material particles in the luminescent body. Particle sizes may be determined with methods known in the art, like one or more of optical microscopy, SEM (scanning electron microscope) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Dimensions may be number averaged, as known in the art. Hence, the particles may be substantially identical, but the particles may also mutually differ, such as two or more subsets of particles, wherein within the subsets the particles are substantially identical. The particles may have a unimodal particle size distribution or a polymodal size distribution. From measured dimension, equivalent diameters may be determined. As indicated, the first particulate luminescent material may be configured embedded in the main matrix material. In embodiments, the main matrix material may thus comprise the first particulate luminescent material. Especially, the main matrix material may comprise the first particulate luminescent material in a first luminescent material particles concentration C1. Here, the concentration C1may especially refer to a v / v% concentration of (the volume of the) first particulate luminescent material particles relative to a first volume V1. In embodiments, the first volume V1may be the combined volume of (i) the main matrix material, (ii) the first particulate luminescent material, and (iii) the second particulate luminescent material ((iv) and optionally a light scattering material, see also further below). In embodiments, the first volume V1 may essentially be equal to the volume of the luminescent converter. Yet, in embodiments, the first volume V1may be smaller than the volume of the luminescent converter, e.g. when the luminescent converter comprises a support. In embodiments, the main matrix material may thus comprise the first particulate luminescent material in a first luminescent particle concentration C1. In embodiments, the first luminescent particle concentration C1 may be selected from the range of 0.1-35% (v / v%), such as from the range of 0.5-30% (v / v%), especially from the range of 1-25% (v / v%) (relative to the first volume V1). Further, in embodiments, the first luminescent 2024PF80279 18 particle concentration C1may be selected from the range of 2-20% (v / v%), such as from the range of 3-18% (v / v%), especially from the range of 4-15% (v / v%) (relative to the first volume V1). Further, in embodiments, the main matrix material may comprise the second particulate luminescent material in a second luminescent material particle concentration C2(relative to the first volume V1). In embodiments, the second luminescent material particle concentration C2 may be equal to the first luminescent particle concentration C1, C2 = C1. Further, in embodiments, the second luminescent material particle concentration C2may differ from the first luminescent particle concentration C1, such as 0.25*C1≤ C2≤ 4*C1, especially 0.3*C1 ≤ C2 ≤ 3*C1, more especially 0.5*C1 ≤ C2 ≤ 2*C1. Especially, in embodiments, the second luminescent material particle concentration C2may be higher than the first luminescent particle concentration C1, such as C2 ≥ 1.25*C1, like C2 ≥ 1.5*C1, especially C2 ≥ 1.75*C1, more especially C2 ≥ 2*C1. Further, in embodiments, C2 ≤ 3.5*C1, such as C2 ≤ 3.25*C1, especially C2 ≤ 3*C1. Additionally or alternatively, in embodiments, the second luminescent particle concentration C2may be selected from the range of 0.1-40 vol. %, such as from the range of 0.5-30 vol. %, especially from the range of 1-25 vol. % (relative to the first volume V1). Especially, in embodiments, the second luminescent particle concentration C2may be selected from the range of 4-40 vol. %, such as from the range of 5- 30 vol. %, especially from the range of 6-25 vol. % (relative to the first volume V1). Further, in embodiments, the main matrix material may comprise the first particulate luminescent material particles and the second particulate luminescent material particles in a (combined) luminescent material particle concentration C1+2(relative to the first volume V1). In embodiments, the (combined) luminescent material particle concentration C1+2may be selected from the range of 1-60 vol. %, such as from the range of 2-40 vol. %, especially from the range of 3-30 vol. % (relative to the first volume V1). In embodiments, the second particulate luminescent material particles may comprise the primary particles.

Especially, the second particulate luminescent material particles may comprise the primary particles in a primary particle concentration Cp, wherein the primary particle concentration Cp may especially refer to a v / v% concentration of (the volume of) the primary particles relative to the total volume of the second particulate luminescent material particles. In embodiments, the primary particle concentration Cp may be selected from the range of 2-60 vol. % , such as from the range of 5-50 vol. %, especially from the range of 10-40 vol. % (relative to the 2024PF80279 19 volume of the second particulate luminescent material particles). In embodiments, the primary particle concentration Cpmay be higher than the (combined) luminescent particle concentration C1+2, i.e. the concentration of primary particles in the second particulate luminescent material particles may be higher than the (combined) concentration of first particulate luminescent material particles and second particulate luminescent material particles in the main matrix material. Especially, in embodiments, Cp ≥ C1+2, such as Cp ≥ 2*C1+2, especially Cp ≥ 3*C1+2. Further, in embodiments, Cp ≤ 15*C1+2, such as Cp ≤ 12*C1+2, especially Cp≤ 10*C1+2. Hence, in specific embodiments, the second particulate luminescent material may comprise primary particles in a primary particle concentration (Cp) selected from the range of 10-40 vol.%; the main matrix material may comprise the first particulate luminescent material in a first luminescent material particle concentration (C1), and the second particulate luminescent material in a second luminescent material particle concentration (C2); a luminescent material particle concentration (C1+2) may be selected from the range of 3-30 vol. %; and C2≥ 2*C1and Cp≥ Cl+2.Such concentrations of primary particles, first particulate luminescent material particles, and second particulate luminescent material particles may facilitate distributing the absorption of (light source) light over a relatively large optical path length. Hence, such a luminescent converter may provide thermal management. Further, a (combined) luminescent material particle concentration C1+2 selected from the range of 3-30 vol. % may facilitate outcoupling of (unconverted) light source light. In embodiments wherein the light source light comprises blue light, such a luminescent converter may facilitate the outcoupling of white light. In embodiments, the main matrix material may comprise an optically transparent material. Herein, the term “optically transparent” material indicates the material may be transmissive for one or more wavelengths selected from the range of 190-1500 nm, such as for one or more wavelengths selected from the range of 200-1000 nm, especially for one or more wavelengths selected from the range of 380-780 nm. In embodiments, the mainmatrix material may comprise an optically transparent (crosslinked) polymeric material.Especially, the main matrix material may comprise a material selected from the group comprising glass, polycarbonate (PC), (clear) polyvinyl chloride (PVC), liquid silicone rubber (LSR), cyclic olefin copolymers (COC), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), styrene methyl methacrylate (SMMA), polysiloxanes, and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), orcombinations thereof. In embodiments, the main matrix material may thus comprise acrosslinked polysiloxane, such as selected from the group comprising polydimethylsiloxane 2024PF80279 20 (PDMS), polymethylphenylsiloxane (PMPS), and polydiphenylsiloxane (PDPS), especially PDMS, or combinations thereof. Further, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may comprise an optically transparent material. In embodiments, the second particulate matrix material maycomprise a sol-gel particle matrix. The term “sol-gel particle” is known to a person skilled inthe art, and may refer to a particle created using the sol-gel method. Further, in embodiments, the particulate particle matrix material may comprise an optically transparent (crosslinked) polymeric material. Especially, the second particulate matrix material may comprise a material selected from the group comprising glass, PC, (clear) PVC, LSR, COC, FEP, SMMA, polysiloxanes, and PMMA. Especially, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may comprise a crosslinked polysiloxane. Hence, in specific embodiments, one or more of the main matrix material and the second particulate matrix material may comprise a crosslinked polysiloxane. Moreover, in specific embodiments, one or more of the main matrix material and the second particulate matrix material may comprise one or more of crosslinked PDMS, crosslinked PDPS, crosslinked PMPS, and a copolymer of two or more of the afore-mentioned. Crosslinked polysiloxanes may provide thermal stability, and may therefore not degrade or react under operating conditions of a light generating system. Further, crosslinked polysiloxanes may provide long term optical transparency, and may not discolor under (high-intensity) irradiation with light. Additionally, crosslinked polysiloxanes may facilitate shaping of the luminescent body into a variety of shapes, using suitable molds. Further, in embodiments, the main matrix material (and optionally the second particulate matrix material) may comprise a light scattering material. Especially, the main matrix material may comprise a material selected from the group comprising BaSO4, Al2O3 and TiO2particles. More especially, in embodiments, a light scattering material selected from the group comprising BaSO4, Al2O3and TiO2particles may be configured embedded in the main matrix material. Especially, the main matrix material may comprise the light scattering material l in a light scattering material concentration Cs. Here, the concentration Cs may especially refer to a v / v% concentration of (the volume of the) light scattering material particles relative to the first volume V1. In embodiments, the light scattering material concentration Cs may be selected from the range of 0.1-50 vol. %, such as from the range of 0.5-40 vol. %, especially from the range of 5-35 vol. % (relative to the first volume V1). Further, in embodiments, the first luminescent particle concentration C1 may be selected from the range of 2-40 vol. %, such as from the range of 3-30 vol. %, especially from the range of 4-20 vol. % (relative to the first volume V1). Hence, in specific embodiments, the main 2024PF80279 21 matrix material may comprise a light scattering material selected from the group comprising BaSO4, Al2O3and TiO2particles embedded in the main matrix material; wherein the main matrix material may comprise the light scattering material selected from the range of 5-35 vol. %. The light scattering material may be configured to scatter (or “diffuse”) the light source light and / or the first (and / or second) luminescent material light. Yet further, in embodiments, the main matrix material may have a main water permeability (d1). The water permeability may herein be defined as the number of liters of water that pass through a 1 m2area of matrix material per hour under a pressure head of 1 bar (i.e. unit L / m2hbar). Similarly, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may have a second water permeability (d2). In embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may have a lower water permeability than the main matrix material. Especially, inembodiments, d2≤0.9*d1, such as d2≤0.8*d1, like d2≤0.7*d1, especially d2≤0.5*d1.Moreover, in embodiments, d2≤0.1*d1, such as d2≤0.2*d1, like d2≤0.1*d3. Therefore, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material and the main matrix material may especially be different. Especially, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may comprise a fluorinated polymer. Such embodiments may provide the benefit that a fluorinated polymer may lower the water permeability in the matrix material, therewith improving the moisture resistance (and thus lifespan) of the second particulate luminescent material. For example, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may comprise a fluorinated crosslinked silicone. Especially, in embodiments, the second particulate matrix material may comprise one or more polymers selected from the group comprising: tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride, or copolymers thereof. As indicated above, the luminescent converter may be configured downstream from the first solid-state light source. In embodiments, the luminescent converter may have a first major face and a second major face, wherein the second major face may be configured opposite the first major face. In embodiments, the light source light may be incident on the first major face of the luminescent converter, and the first luminescent material light (and optionally transmitted light source light) may exit the luminescent converter via the second major face. Especially, in embodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured to convert at least 80%, such as at least 90%, like at least 95%, especially at least 98% of the light source light received by the luminescent converter into first luminescent material light and / or second luminescent material light. Hence, in such embodiments, the luminescent converter may be 2024PF80279 22 configured to transmit (or reflect or absorb) at most 20%, such as at most 10%, like at most 5%, especially at most 2% of the light source light received by the luminescent converter as unconverted light source light. Especially, in embodiments, the luminescent converter may be configured in a full conversion mode (i.e. essentially all of the light source light received by the luminescent converter may be converted into luminescent material light). Additionally or alternatively, in embodiments, the light generating system may further comprise a dichroic reflector configured downstream of the luminescent converter. In such embodiments, the dichroic reflector may be configured to transmit at least part of the first luminescent material light and at least part of the second luminescent material light received by the dichroic reflector. Additionally or alternatively, in such embodiments, the dichroic reflector may be configured to reflect at least part of the light source light received by the dichroic reflector back to the luminescent converter. Hence, the dichroic reflector may be configured to separate the luminescent material light from the light source light. The light source light may especially be reflected back to the luminescent converter, which may convert the (remaining) light source light into luminescent material light. Thus, such embodiments may provide the benefit that a higher efficiency of the luminescent converter in the light generating system may be achieved. Hence, in embodiments, one or more of the following may apply: (A) the luminescent converter may be configured to convert at least 98% of the light source light received by the luminescent converter into first luminescent material light and / or second luminescent material light; and (B) the light generating system may comprise a dichroic reflector configured downstream of the luminescent converter, wherein the dichroic reflector may be configured to (i) transmit at least part of the first luminescent material light and at least part of the second luminescent material light received by the dichroic reflector, and to (ii) reflect at least part of the light source light received by the dichroic reflector back to the luminescent converter. In embodiments, the dichroic reflector may essentially comprise a spectral filter, such as e.g. a high-pass spectral filter, a low-pass spectral filter, or a combination thereof (also referred to as a band-pass or band-block filter). The light generating system may be part of or may be applied in e.g. office lighting systems, household application systems, shop lighting systems, home lighting systems, accent lighting systems, spot lighting systems, theater lighting systems, fiber-optics application systems, projection systems, self-lit display systems, pixelated display systems, segmented display systems, warning sign systems, medical lighting application systems, indicator sign systems, decorative lighting systems, portable systems, automotive 2024PF80279 23 applications, (outdoor) road lighting systems, urban lighting systems, green house lighting systems, horticulture lighting, digital projection, or LCD backlighting. The light generatingsystem (or luminaire) may be part of or may be applied in e.g. optical communicationsystems or disinfection systems. In embodiments, the light generating system may be configured to provide, in an operational mode, white system light. Especially, in such embodiments, the system light, more especially the first device light, may comprise first luminescent material light, second luminescent material light, and light source light.
