21. I had thought that LED lamps were just a group of "blue LEDs with additional yellow phosphor doping"
...to borrow your description. A lamp with several colored LEDs would seem to be more efficient to me. I have always seen low lumens/watt ratings for white LEDs.

A designer would just have to select the LEDs for the correct light levels to create a lamp that looks like "balanced" white light.

Good explanation in paragraph 1. I would add that quality here does not refer to reliability. Welcome to our forum :hi:
