You cannae change the laws of physics, blackbody radiator like
tungsten has a continuous spectrum, sources that rely on phosphor
conversion will always have peaks and troughs.

I said "broad" not "continuous"

LEDs , of any current type, are many miles away from being broad band sources.

You did look at the spectra on the page I linked to? It looks one hell
of a lot better than CFL to me.

been looking at source spectra for 30 odd years, mebbe I read them differntly from yourself ;-)
