Energy efficient light source comprising photoluminescent material and a selective mirror

Abstract

An energy efficient light source comprising photoluminescent material and a selective mirror is disclosed. In an embodiment, a first light source emanates light of a particular spectrum, a layer of photoluminescent material surrounding the first light source absorbs light of the spectrum emanated by the first light source and emanates light of a different spectrum, and a selective mirror surrounding the layer of photoluminescent material reflects light emanated by the first light source and transmits light emanated by the photoluminescent material.
