Yes, I've googled it, but there are many different
approaches. Which one is used in domestic LED bulbs?


Varys with who is doing the bulbs. The cheapest ****
does it differently to the stuff with the long warrantys.


Don't they all use something similar to CREE LEDs?


Nope, the cheapest **** has the individual leds clearly visible.


What do you mean by that? You can always se individual LEDs can't you?

The fancy **** does indeed have what CREE calls remote phosphors.

But those don't work where you want a bulb that you
can vary the color temperature to anything you like.
