What is LED RGB Lighting? (with picture)
H. Bliss
Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is a lighting system that uses a semiconductor source of light known as LED to produce a light. RGB stands for red, green, and blue, and it refers to the colors of lights available from the LED lighting device. Generally, an RGB lighting device offers a means of controlling and changing lighting color in theaters, clubs, and concerts. Types of LED RGB lighting include linear lighting, direct-view lighting, and wall-wash LED RGB lighting.
Individually, LED bulbs are usually fairly tiny and grouped together in order to form a light source. Mixing colors of light works differently than mixing colors of paint, so in order to get all white light, a lighting designer needs to add colors from the full spectrum to achieve the desired effect. A dominant amount of blue light makes the light more blue, as adding red makes the light more red.
LED RGB lighting is useful for stage lighting for theater productions, as well as for dance clubs and outdoor lighting. For gardens, LED RGB lighting can be used to add a specific set of changeable colors to an outdoor landscaping area. One benefit to LED lighting is that it is often safer and more energy efficient than traditional incandescent and halogen lighting options. It also has more flexibility with respect to color because LED RGB lighting is easily adjusted in color and dimmed to meet specific lighting needs.
