The white light-emitting diodes, contributing as a light initiator for the succeeding generation, is now becoming a consistently developing and attractive research area. However, the weak thermal stability, high correlated color temperature (CCT), and low color rendering (Ra) restrict its effectiveness for large-scale implementation. In this work, we reported for the first time the incorporation of rare-earth ions Ce3+-Tb3+-Sm3+ into Ca3YAl3B4O15 (CYAB) in the fabrication of WLEDs, which showed tunable photoluminescence properties to accomplish exceptional thermal stability, single-phase white light emission, and efficient energy transfer among Ce3+, Tb3+, Sm3+ ions, respectively. The crystal structure and the rare earth ion dopants in the cation borate CYAB phosphors were quantitatively evaluated, that highlighting the preferences at 9-fold-coordinated Y sites. The sensitization effects were studied by evaluating the photoluminescence, lifetime curves, and quantum efficiencies, respectively. Besides this, the CY(0.45)AB:0.50Tb(3+), 0.05Sm(3+) and CY(0.65)AB:0.03Ce(3+), 0.20Tb(3+), 0.12Sm(3+) phosphors possess significant resistance towards thermal quenching phenomena. The white LED either containing CY(0.45)AB:0.50Tb(3+), 0.05Sm(3+) phosphor blended with the commercial blue phosphor or the single-phase WLED only containing CY(0.65)AB: 0.03Ce(3+), 0.20Tb(3+), 0.12Sm(3+) phosphor exhibited warm white emissions either with low CCT approximate to 4543 K or 3913 K and high Ra with 86.0 or 84.4, respectively. These results are superior to the commercial WLED containing Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphor and blue LED chip (CCT approximate to 7746 K, Ra approximate to 75), that furnish either as a good candidate for the fabrication of warm WLED.
