According to reports, the two British companies in the London International Lighting Exhibition LuxLive revealed that the United States is currently preparing to jointly launch the world’s first nano-particles lamps.
Nanoparticles can make the lamps produce accurate and harmonious spectra, which will be ideal for stimulating plant growth.
As the world’s leading cadmium-free quantum dots research and development and production, Cumbria LED lighting company Marl and Manchester company Nanoco Group show the world’s first cadmium-free quantum dot (CFQD) LED lighting Products, Orion QD ,in London International Lighting Exhibition LuxLive.
Nanoco Group uses cadmium-free particles, can absorb a variety of wavelength range of light, such as blue, and the release of color determined by its size.
Compared to the phosphor quantum efficiency of 80% -90%, the photon’s photon efficiency is not so high, but in view of the quantum dot with narrow spectral color (40-60nm wide wavelength conversion), can produce higher system efficiency. As a result, the light is only converted at the desired place.
Horticultural application of nano-particle lamps can produce blue and red light, but there is no matching chlorophyll absorption spectrum of green light, because it will not be able to reflect light.
Marl Company will embed Nanoco Group particles in the thin flexible plastic film, as a blue light LED lighting array of remote “phosphor”.
In addition to horticultural applications, the technology also has potential in retail and building applications.
