Patent ID: 7847302

Claim:
A light emitting diode (LED) structure comprising: an LED die that emits blue light; a substantially flat layer of a first phosphor provided directly on at least a top surface of the LED die, the first phosphor having characteristics that convert the LED light to a different wavelength such that a combination of the blue light from the LED die and light generated by the first phosphor produces white light having a first color temperature; and a second phosphor infused in a transparent binder substantially encapsulating the LED die and the first phosphor, the transparent binder containing the second phosphor being molded to form an outer lens, the second phosphor not forming a substantially flat layer over the first phosphor and the outer lens being molded to refract light to create a desired light emission pattern, the outer lens not having any other layers over it, the second phosphor having characteristics that convert a color temperature of the white light emitted by the combination of the blue light from the LED die and light generated by the first phosphor to create white light having a second color temperature.
