A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element emitting primary light and a wavelength conversion portion absorbing a part of the primary light and emitting secondary light having a wavelength equal to or longer than the wavelength of the primary light. The wavelength conversion portion includes a plurality of green or yellow light-emitting phosphors and a plurality of red light-emitting phosphors. The green or yellow light-emitting phosphor is implemented by at least one selected from a specific europium (II)-activated silicate phosphor (A-1) and a specific cerium (III)-activated silicate phosphor (A-2). The red light-emitting phosphor is implemented by a specific europium (II)-activated nitride phosphor (B). The light-emitting device emitting white light at efficiency and color rendering property higher than in a conventional example can thus be provided. |
