Light emitting diodes are prepared with specialized packages which provide a dosing feature with respect to a phosphor wavelength converting medium. Elements of the device package form a specially shaped cavity when coupled together. The shape and size of the cavity operates to control the dosing of phosphor spiked medium of soft gel.
