Claim 17:
18. A light-emitting diode (LED) package comprising:
a submount;
a plurality of LED chips that are arranged in at least a first zone and a second zone on the submount, wherein:
the first zone is defined by a first subgroup of LED chips of the plurality of LED chips such that the first subgroup of LED chips has a first maximum forward voltage rating; and
the second zone is defined by a second subgroup of LED chips of the plurality of LED chips such that the second subgroup of LED chips has a second maximum forward voltage rating that is different than the first maximum forward voltage rating;

a first encapsulant that covers at least one LED chip of the first subgroup of LED chips in the first zone; and
a second encapsulant that covers at least one LED chip of the second subgroup of LED chips in the second zone, wherein the second encapsulant comprises a different material than the first encapsulant.
