An illumination system comprises a gas discharge lamp (1) and at least one light-emitting diode (2). The illumination system according to the invention comprises means for reducing ultraviolet light emitted by the gas discharge lamp reaching the light-emitting diode. Preferably, the means for reducing ultraviolet light comprises an ultraviolet-absorbing or ultraviolet-reflecting shielding means ( ) provided between the gas discharge lamp and the light-emitting diode. Preferably, the gas-discharge lamp is a fluorescent lamp, for instance, a low-pressure mercury-vapor discharge lamp. Preferably, the illumination system is employed in an emergency lighting device or in a display device, in particular a liquid-crystal display (LCD) device. The illumination system according to the invention has a relatively long life.
