Provided is a light emitting device having excellent color reproducing performance. The light emitting device has a light emitting element, a red phosphor composed of a nitride phosphor, and a green phosphor composed of halosilicate. The emission spectrum has a first peak wavelength of 440nm or more but not more than 470nm, a second peak wavelength of 510nm or more but not more than 550nm, and a third peak wavelength of 630nm or more but not more than 670nm. The lowest relative emission strength value between the second peak wavelength and the third peak wavelength is 80% of the lower value of either the relative emission intensity value at the second peak wavelength or the relative emission intensity at the third peak wavelength or is lower than 80% of such value. |
