Wide range of LED phosphor produced by GTP

While the amount of phosphor in your LED may be small, your products could not function properly
without it. For your LEDs to perform at the highest level, you need the best phosphor available - LED
phosphor from GTP. GTP has been developing and manufacturing phosphors for nearly 100 years. Our
scientists and technicians constantly push the boundaries of phosphor technology to provide the highest
quality materials available.

Why LEDs?

Efficiency - LEDs consume 50% - 90% less power than conventional bulbs
Longevity - A lifespan of 50,000 hours means you wont change a bulb for years
Environmental - LEDs do not contain mercury & are made of recyclable materials
Quality - LEDs offer light with unnoticeable lumen deterioration
Color - LED bulbs can produce a color very similar to incandescent bulbs
Safety / Heat - LEDs produce up to 90% less heat than incandescent bulbs

Silicate phosphors are quite

sensitive to the effects of humidity. GTPs coatings will
greatly increase the life of
silicate phosphors in your application. GTP has applied
protective coatings to various
phosphor for over 30 years.
We are now applying that expertise to LED phosphor.

GTP has been on the cutting edge of phosphor development and production for nearly 100 years. Beginning in 1916 as the Towanda Phosphor Works,
GTP first produced phosphor for X-Ray intensifying
screens. In 1936, GTP started producing phosphor for
fluorescent lamps, followed by television phosphors,
EL phosphor, UV phosphor and now LED phosphor.
