    As illustrated by a straight line on the chromaticity diagram, simple two-white blends will have a pink bias, becoming most severe in the middle. A small amount of green light, provided by another LED, could correct the problem. [41] Some products are RGBWW, i.e. RGBW with tunable white. [42] A final class of white LED with mixed light is dim ...

    A LED is a long-lived light source, but certain mechanisms can cause slow loss of efficiency of the device or sudden failure. The wavelength of the light emitted is a function of the band gap of the semiconductor material used; materials such as gallium arsenide , and others , with various trace doping elements , are used to produce different ...

    Reverse bias: Although the LED is based on a diode junction and is nominally a rectifier, the reverse-breakdown mode for some types can occur at very low voltages and essentially any excess reverse bias can cause immediate degradation, and may lead to vastly accelerated failure. 5 V is a typical maximum reverse bias voltage specification for ...

    An FPL spokesperson explained that over time, some LED streetlights in FPL’s service area are emitting a violet or purple hue rather than the standard white light because of a manufacturer defect.

    Manufacturing problems can lead to defects of LED street lights resulting in delamination of the phosphor coating layer much sooner than the design life of the lights. This causes the white LED lights to turn blue or purple. [18] The issues of large scale defective lights happened in many cities in United States and Canada. [19] [20]

    Cinematographers also work closely with set designers and lighting crews to achieve the desired color effects. [23] For artists, most pigments and papers have a cool or warm cast, as the human eye can detect even a minute amount of saturation. Gray mixed with yellow, orange, or red is a "warm gray". Green, blue, or purple create "cool grays".
