Removing the second, internal diffuser reveals the colour LEDs and the other side of the 8-pin connector. Notably, the board does not use multi-coloured LEDs. Instead, there are 12 monochrome LEDs (4 R, 4 G, 4B), presumably in an effort to keep the cost as low as possible.

The rear of the board is covered in aluminium (and thermal paste) to better conduct heat away from the LEDs.
Note the 8-pin connector at the top. This links the LED board to the rest of the lamp electronics.

With the outer diffuser removed, we can see the board carrying the LEDs. The outer ring of LEDs is warm white. The frosted dome in the center covers the RGB LEDs.

Time to butcher some Hue-compatible smart Zigbee lighting (and hopefully learn something along the way).
