ray (W); wherein the
white light source (100) is arranged to individually control the proportion of the individual light rays in the common
light beam (W); wherein at least one of the light sources (10, 20, 30) is a
laser-activated remote

light source, (90) with a
phosphor as a conversion element (98) and a
laser diode (92) for exciting the conversion element (98) by means of an excitation
radiation (S) emitted by the
laser diode (92); wherein the
white light source (100) each comprises a
light source (10, 20, 30) for providing monochromatic light beams (R, G, B) with respective components essentially in the blue, green and red spectral range; characterized by the fact that the provision of the
colored light beam (B) with components essentially in the blue or violet spectral range is carried out via a
laser diode (92) emitting light essentially in the blue or violet spectral range, and via the
laser diode (92) an excitation of a conversion element (98) for the provision of a monochromatic
light beam (C) with components essentially in the cyan spectral range is additionally carried out, wherein the violet spectral range extends between wavelengths from about 380 nm to about less than 400 nm and the cyan spectral range extends between wavelengths from about 482 nm to about 494 nm; or the
white light source (100) further comprises a LARP light source (90) as a light source (40) for providing a monochromatic light beam (C) with components essentially in the cyan spectral range, wherein the individual light beams (R, G, B, C) are combined into a common light beam (W) via the beam combiner (50), wherein the individual light beams (R, G, B, C) have separate light paths, the cyan spectral range extending between wavelengths of about 482 nm to about 494 nm.
