The white light LEDs of today are usually based on a blue LED and a phosphor, converting the blue light to longer wavelengths. While these phosphor-converted LEDs are extremely efficient compared to incandescent light or fluorescent light, there is still plenty of room for improvement. In the conversion between blue light and light of lower energy approximately 25-45 % of the radiant power is lost
