March 7, 2005...Toshiba of Tokyo, Japan has introduced a florescent substance for white LEDs that can be used in conjunction with blue LEDs to create a white light close to natural sunlight, according to report from Asia Pulse. The new material boasts 1.7 times the brightness of conventional white LEDs. Asia Pulse reports that products containing this fluorescent substance could be available in two or three years.

Nice, first we get a 2X improvement in the blue LED which bumps up output by 2X shipping from CREE back in Sept., then from LumiLeds hopefully this summer, and now Toshiba introduces a much higher efficiency phosphor (1.7X).
Not bad at all. Looks like it won't be too long before the standard output is raised by 3.4X of the current Luxeons.
Times are good...
