Inside a Color LED Bulb
« on: March 10, 2016, 05:37:19 pm »

We bought a bulb for testing color.  It is an Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave LED Light Bulb, Gen5.

It worked.  We can make it do color.  But we also took a look inside and it was pretty interesting.  

The outside ring has 15 diodes and produces only white light, which they call "cool light".  

Inside that ring are 4 more diodes that produce red, green, or blue (RGB).  It turns out that "warm light" just has a little red added.

For comparison, the Philips Hue 456186 color bulb is $59.95 and supports ZigBee but not Z-Wave.
