ABSTRACT:
A white light emitting device and method that generate light by combining light produced by a white light source with light produced by at least one supplemental light emitting diode (LED). The supplemental light can be used to adjust one or more properties of the generated light. Adjustments can be made to the generated light based on feedback.
