A mixed light source comprising: a first radiation source, which emits radiation in the red spectral range; an excitation source, which contains a III-V semiconductor material; and a conversion substance, which, during the operation of the mixed light source, converts the radiation of the excitation source at least partly into radiation whose color locus in the CIE chromaticity diagram lies within a polygon spanned by the coordinates (0.1609; 0.497), (0.35; 0.6458), (0.558; 0.444) and (0.453; 0.415).
