Seaborough and Luminus Devices Announce Phosphor Partnership
Seaborough B.V. (Seaborough), a pioneer in nanoscience and luminescent technology, and Luminus Devices, an established innovator in advanced lighting technologies, announce a partnership which aims to bring the world’s first LED with nano-engineered Eu3+-based phosphor to market on a commercial scale.
This new partnership gives Luminus Devices early access to Seaborough’s unique phosphor technology, EuroLED™, which will unlock high quality, more sustainable, warm white LED lighting applications. By testing the patented phosphor technology in Luminus Devices’ LED packages, Seaborough will accelerate the development of its EuroLED™ technology. Both parties expect their collaboration will enable the scale up and global launch of the first LED lighting applications produced with EuroLED™.
Seaborough’s EuroLED™ technology is a patented nano-engineered Eu3+-based phosphor solution for warm white LEDs, which emits unique narrow-band red light. With this, EuroLED™ provides 10% to 20% more lumens per watt than existing phosphors in the CRI 80-90 range, making it a significantly more sustainable solution. In addition, EuroLED™ is processed without hydrofluoric acid and without oxygen restrictions.
Marie Anne van de Haar, CEO, Seaborough says, “After almost a decade of research, I’m excited to be taking this very important step forward in bringing our EuroLED™ technology to the market. We’re glad to have Luminus Devices as our trusted partner on this ambitious project and as an early adopter in this space. Bringing Eu3+-based phosphor to solid state lighting has long been a goal of the industry as it unlocks never before seen efficiencies. Luminus Devices and Seaborough share a vision that nano-engineered EuroLED™ technology can make this ambition a reality.”
Mark Pugh, CEO, Luminus adds, "Luminus Devices is thrilled to partner with Seaborough in introducing the groundbreaking EuroLED™ technology to the market. As an early adopter of this innovative Eu3+-based phosphor technology, we believe it represents a transformative step forward for the solid-state lighting industry. Together with Seaborough, we are paving the way for unprecedented efficiencies in lighting solutions, and we share a common vision of turning this technological ambition into a market reality. This collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in Commercial, Residential, and Specialty Lighting markets."
