Great YT video about the history of Blue LEDs

[GlassMunky]

New Veritasium video up on YouTube about the history of Blue LEDs. Pretty great watch that covers everything from how the LEDS actually work, to why blue took so long (and why UV is still being worked on). Very informative watch.

Love Veritasium! One of my faves. Thanks for the share!

Admission - as a physics guy, I've known for years that figuring out how to make LEDs blue was Nobel-prize level difficult, but I'd never gone through the details to find out why it was so hard. Thanks for the vid, veritasium is great stuff.

I missed this post, but saw the YT Video just moments ago. This also solves the Mystery as to why my 10,000 to 15,000K COB LED’s have what it appears to be a yellow soft compound over them.

This exact video popped up in my youtube feed this morning.

The algorithm must have decided that guys who watch reef keeping videos would want to see this.
