Abstract

The invention relates to a halide phosphor powder for warm-white light emitting diode, which is a kind of low-color-temperature phosphor powder of halide nitride based on garnet of rare earth oxides, uses cerium as activating agent and is characterized in that chloride (Cl−1) and nitrogen ion (N−3) are added to the composition of the phosphor powder and its stoichiometric relationship of the composition is (ΣLn+3)3Al2[(Al(O1-2pClpNp)4]3, wherein ΣLn is ΣLn=Y and/or Gd and/or Tb and/or Lu and/or Dy and/or Pr and/or Ce. In addition, the invention also discloses a use of a warm-white light emitting diode of the said phosphor powder with a weight ratio of 8 to 75%. The light emitting diode has a warm-red color temperature T≦3000 K when it has a power of 1 watt.
