Abstract
A color correcting optical component (CCOC) for reducing the correlated color temperature (CCT) of a light source emitting a first light, the CCOC comprising: (a) a light transmitting component, the light transmitting component being discrete from the light source; (b) a connector operatively attached to the light transmitting component for connecting the light transmitting component to the light source such that at least a portion of the first light passes through the light transmitting component; (c) a plurality of quantum dots (QDs) disposed in the light transmitting component, the QDs configured to downconvert a portion of the first light to a second light, wherein the light transmitting component emits emitted light comprising a combination of at least the first light and second light.

A color correcting optical component (CCOC) for reducing the correlated color temperature (CCT) of a light source emitting a first light, said CCOC comprising:
- a light transmitting component, said light transmitting component being discrete from said light source;
- a connector operatively attached to said light transmitting component for connecting said light transmitting component to said light source such that at least a first portion of said first light passes through said light transmitting component;
- a plurality of quantum dots (QDs) disposed in said light transmitting component, said QDs configured to downconvert at least a second portion of said first portion of said first light to a second light, wherein said light transmitting component emits emitted light comprising a combination of at least said second light and a third portion of said first light.
