Abstract
A lighting system includes at least one light emitting diode and a coating of matrix material having at least one glass-coated quantum dot in a base material. The at least one glass-coated quantum dot may be selected from at least one of a group II-VI materials, III-V materials, IV-VI materials, I-III-VI materials and combinations of such materials. The matrix material may be silicone, and the lighting system may include a light bulb replacement fixture including a threaded screw electrically connected to the light emitting diode.
