Color and the wave length of LED lights

Sep 09, 2021

Whether the color of light is visible is determined by its wavelength. The wavelength of light is measured in nanometers, which is one-billionth of a meter.  The light emitted by the light emitting diode is almost the same, that is to say, wavelength of the light is almost the same, and color is very pure.


The different emitting colors of LEDs is corresponding to a certain light wavelength range, and the colors almost cover the solar spectrum. At present, ultraviolet, blue, green, yellow, red, infrared and UV free light-emitting diodes have been successfully prepared. In addition, LEDs are with advantages of low operating voltage, low operating current, and easy to assemble, which make them a new generation of energy-saving and low-carbon light sources. LIGHT VICTOR LED lamps can be energy saving over 75%.


The following is the color of light and its wavelength.

Mid­­-infrared red light

4600nm to 1600nm—invisible light

Low infrared red light 

1300nm to 870nm—Invisible light; 850nm—810nm—almost invisible light 

Near infrared light 

780nm—A very light cherry red light can be seen when directly observed 

770nm—A deep cherry red light can be seen when directly observed 

740nm—Dark cherry red light  

Red light

700nm—dark red; 660nm—red; 645nm—bright red 

630nm to 620nm—orange red 

Orange light 

615nm—red orange light; 610nm—orange light; 605nm—Amber light 

Yellow light

590nm—sodium yellow; 585nm—yellow; 575nm—lemon yellow/light green 

Green

570nm—light turquoise; 565nm—turquoise; 555nm—550nm—bright green; 525nm—pure green 

Blue green

505nm—cyan/blue—green; 500 nm—light green cyan; 495nm—sky blue 

Blue

475nm—Azure Blue 470nm—460nm—bright blue 

450nm—pure blue 

Blue purple

444nm—dark blue; 30nm—blue purple 

Purple

405nm—Pure Purple; 400nm—deep purple 

Near Ultraviolet Light

395nm—deep purple with reddish color 

UV—A type ultraviolet light 

370nm— is almost invisible light, it appears a dark purple when filtered by wood glass.  

White light emitting diodes have yellowish to purplish white light. The color temperature range of white light emitting diodes is as low as 4000K to 12000K. Common white light emitting diodes are usually in the range of 6500K to 8000K.
