1. A lighting fixture, comprising:
an LED array comprising:
(i) an LED mounting substrate;
(ii) a plurality of LED components of various colors carried on said mounting substrate and arranged along first and second directions orthogonal to one another such that no two like colors reside orthogonally or diagonally adjacent one another, and wherein each LED component is spaced-apart from an adjacent LED component a distance no greater than 1.0 mm;
(iii) at least one LED circuit configured for electrically connecting with a power supply for powering said LED components; and
an optical component.
