A spectroscopic investigation of 1% Dy<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-singly doped and 0.5% Ce<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-1.0% Dy<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-codoped zinc-sodium-aluminosilicate glasses was performed by analyzing their absorption and photoluminescence spectra, and decay times. Warm white yellow light emission, with (0.419, 0.440) CIE1931 chromaticity coordinates and 3579 K color temperature, is obtained in the Dy<sup>3+</sup>-singly doped glass excited at 399 nm, which fits to the requirements of GaN LEDs. A quantum efficiency of 74% and a very high optical gain (38.7×10<sup>-25</sup> cm<sup>2</sup> s) were estimated for the dysprosium <sup>4</sup>F<inf>9/2</inf> level luminescence, which might also make the Dy<sup>3+</sup>-doped glass a promising gain medium for solid state yellow laser pumped by GaN LEDs. In the Ce<sup>3+</sup>/Dy<sup>3+</sup>-codoped glass a radiative energy transfer from Ce<sup>3+</sup> to Dy<sup>3+</sup> is observed upon UV excitation (310-365 nm), with a Ce<sup>3+</sup> to Dy<sup>3+</sup> interaction distance that could be greater than 6-12 Å. The emission color from the codoped glass can be tuned with the excitation wavelength from blue light (0.247, 0.245), upon 310 nm excitation, to cold white light (0.284, 0.300), with a 9052 K color temperature, upon 365 nm excitation.
