Adjusting color temperature of emitted light using remote phosphor mask
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12000548B2) discloses a novel light system that includes a luminaire with one or more light emitters and at least one optic, along with a remote phosphor mask that can adjust the color temperature of the emitted light. The remote phosphor mask is reversibly coupled with the luminaire using various coupling mechanisms and features a contour that conforms to the three-dimensional shape of the light emitters and optics. This innovative design allows for precise control over the color temperature of the emitted light, enhancing the versatility and customization options of the lighting system.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a remote phosphor mask designed to be used with a luminaire, featuring phosphors capable of adjusting the color temperature of the emitted light. The mask can be positioned remotely from the light emitter and is coupled with the luminaire using reversible mechanisms like adhesives or fasteners. By absorbing shorter-wavelength light and converting it to longer-wavelength light, the phosphors in the mask can emit light with a correlated color temperature ranging from 2700K to 4000K. This method offers a practical solution for achieving specific light distributions and color temperatures, catering to various lighting needs in different environments. Overall, the patented technology presents a sophisticated approach to lighting systems, combining functionality with adaptability to meet diverse lighting requirements efficiently.
