Title: Light source and method for making a light source

Abstract

A light source fabrication process to fabricate a customized light source includes attaching a plurality of light emitting diodes to a circuit board, where each light emitting diode is configured to emit light within a same wavelength range. Further, the light source fabrication process includes applying a first phosphor layer to a first set of light emitting diodes of the plurality of light emitting diodes and applying a second phosphor layer to a second set of light emitting diodes of the plurality of light emitting diodes. The phosphor layers are applied to the light emitting diodes using one of a screen printing process and an inkjet printing process. The first phosphor layer is different from and has different optical properties from the second phosphor layer.
