1. A light generating system for generating system light, comprising one or more light sources, a luminescent arrangement and a support;
the luminescent arrangement comprising an array of luminescent bodies, and a matrix at least partly configured between the luminescent bodies, wherein the luminescent bodies comprise a first luminescent material, wherein the matrix comprises a light transmissive material, wherein the light transmissive material comprises a second luminescent material, wherein the first luminescent material and the light transmissive material are different materials; and wherein the luminescent bodies are ceramic bodies;
wherein the light transmissive material comprises one or more of a glass, an inorganic polymeric material, an organic polymeric material, quarts and silica;
wherein the one or more light sources are configured to generate one or more beams of light source light, wherein the luminescent arrangement is configured in a light receiving relationship with the one or more light sources, wherein the first luminescent material and the second luminescent material are configured to convert at least part of the light source light received by the first luminescent material and the second luminescent material into first luminescent material light and second luminescent material light, respectively;
wherein the first luminescent material comprises a luminescent material of the type A3B5O12:Ce, wherein A comprises one or more of Y, Gd, Lu, and wherein B comprises one or more of Al, Ga, In and Sc;
wherein the one or more light sources comprise a laser diode or a superluminescent diode;
