       I was looking to add some flush mount LED fixtures, and since COB LED arrays are so cheap I was wondering why they don't just add in red LEDs that get mixed in at lower dimming levels. It just seemed like such an obvious way to duplicate how natural light sources work.Turns out it's patented until at least 2036*, meaning that they do exist and only Philips seems to be able to legally make them. So, they're much more expensive and don't come in the form-factor I need anyway.The patent system is so dumb._* https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2016160798A1
