Fast forward and LED's lights now use, in many cases, yellow filters to
filter out the blue.


Actually, that yellow color is a phosphor; LED illumination starts with a blue
LED (sharp spectrum line) and generates other wavelengths with phosphors.
Fluorescents start with ultraviolet (from mercury in the gas of the tube) and
generate visible light with phosphors.



Excuse me for using the wrong terminology. But with out the yellow you
get blue, the point I was trying to make. ;!)
