1. A light-emitting diode (LED) bulb, comprising:

  • a base;

    a bulb shell connected to the base and enclosing an inner portion of the LED bulb;

    at least one LED located in the inner portion of the LED bulb, the at least one LED configured to emit light at a dominant wavelength; and

    a plurality of particles configured to scatter light emitted from the at least one LED,wherein said plurality of particles comprises;

    a first set of particles disposed within the inner portion of the LED bulb, wherein the particles of the first set have an effective diameter less than the dominant wavelength of the light emitted from the at least one LED; and

    a second set of particles intermixed with the first set of particles, wherein the particles of the second set are comprised of a different material than the particles of the first set and have an effective diameter equal to or greater than the dominant wavelength of the light emitted from the at least one LED.
