The Rise of LED 
Lighting
• LED” is everywhere in the media today
• First infrared LED patented in 1961 by 
Texas Instruments
• 1962: First visible-light LED invented by 
Nick Holonyak
• Now used in nearly all illumination 
applications:
• Headlights, Buildings, Screens, Signage, 
etc.
LEDs praised as the 
Media Praise ≠ greatest thing since sliced bread
Universal But history warns us:
Example: Asbestos – 
Perfection useful, but dangerous
Not all that glitters is 
gold in lighting, either
The Blue Light Concern
• Blue light exposure from 
digital screens is a known 
issue
• Many cheap LED lights 
emit high levels of blue 
light
• Risks: Eye fatigue, 
disrupted sleep, long-
term eye damage
• Full-spectrum LEDs are 
easier on the eyes and 
provide a more pleasant 
environment
Pros of LED Higher efficiency than 
Technology traditional lighting
Increased brightness with 
lower energy use
Longer lifespan when 
designed properly
Reduced maintenance costs
The Reality – Not All 
LEDs Are Equal
Important LED Selection 
Factors:
• Glare & eye fatigue
• Blue light spectrum quality
• Component reliability (LED + 
driver)
• Integration and synergy of 
system components
