Abstract: At the present time there is no doubt that almost every country is experiencing a revolutionary change in the used devices for artificial lighting whether for public, for domestic or for work place illumination. This movement is taking place towards the substitution of fluorescent lamps to LED-phosphor based devices under the justification of reduction in energy consumption and mitigation of the contamination of environment produced by the mercury of fluorescent lamps. In this aspect, despite of the great effort of worldwide scientists to obtain a white lighting source with the emitting spectrum similar to that of the sunlight, it is recognized that there is still a challenge to be faced of getting luminescent materials with broad band excitation in the UV-Vis regions and large emission in the visible in order to allow tunable white lighting generation. Motivated by this interest, in this paper, Eu2+,3+/Pr3+ co-doped calcium aluminosilicate glasses were synthesized and spectroscopically investigated aiming at the development of smart white lighting devices. A prototype was developed to study the sample with excitation at 445 nm light emission diode (LED). The results indicate high color rendering index (CRI Ra ~92-95) and tunable correlated color temperature (CCT from 5700 to 6600 K), covering the whole spectral daylight range. By using a second 405 nm LED together with the 445 nm one, the calculated Du?v? values are suitable for indoor illumination. In this configuration, by adjusting the LEDs intensities it is possible to tune the CCT close to the white lighting region with CRI Ra nearly 95. These characteristics demonstrate that the Eu2+,3+/Pr3+ co-doped OH- calcium aluminosilicate glass is a strong candidate for smart white lighting with LEDs.
