The invention provides a light generating
system (1000) comprising N light generating devices (110,...),
optics (500), M diffuser assemblies (1710,...), and a light exit (1090); wherein: - a
first light generating device (110) is configured to generate first device light (111), comprising an
emission band having a first emission peak
wavelength (λp1); wherein the first device light (111) comprises light having a first
linear polarization; a second light generating device (120) is configured to generate second device light (121) comprising an
emission band having a second emission peak
wavelength (λp2); wherein the second device light (121) comprises light having the first
linear polarization; a third light generating device (130) is configured to generate third device light (131), comprising an
emission band having a third emission peak
wavelength (λp3); and wherein spectral power distributions of the first device light (111), second device light (121), and third device light (131) mutually differ; - a first diffuser
assembly (1710) comprises a first polarization converter (711) and a reflective polarization maintaining first diffuser (712); wherein the first polarization converter (711) comprises a ¼λ
retarder with a first wavelength λr1m of maximum retardance; wherein λr1m / 4 is selected from the range of (λp1 / 4 + λp2 / 4) / 2 ± 5 nm; the first diffuser
assembly (1710) is configured to diffuse at least part of the first device light (111) and at least part of the second device light (121) received by the first diffuser
assembly (1710) into first diffused device light (1711) comprising diffused first device light (111) and diffused second device light (121); and the
optics (500) are configured such that at least part of the first diffused device light (1711) and the third device light (131) received by the
optics (500) are directed to the light exit (1090); - the light generating
system (1000) is configured to generate
system light (1001); wherein in a first operational mode of the light generating system (1000) the system light (1001) is
white light comprising the first diffused device light (1711) and the third device light (131).
