I could definitely be under the wrong impression here, but aren't LEDs monochromatic also?

I think they're generally dichromatic (is that the word?). White LEDs are blue LEDs + a yellow florescent coating.

LEDs somehow have CRI 0.9, so they are unlikely to be just dichromatic. For comparasion monochromatic light has CRI 0.
