About

Black LED Lights, also known as This is What We Mean by Black LED Lights, refers to a slew of discourse caused by a TikTok video shared by user @jetty._wetty, who asked, "Why aren't there black LED lights?" His video went viral in April 2025, causing many reactions to his idea. Many believed that he was being unintelligent, as the idea of black LED lights seemed impossible, and those people shared memes, making fun of him for being dumb. The TikToker's video could have also been Rage Bait to get attention. The idea of Black LED Lights was originally discussed in December 2024 by another TikToker.

Origin

By the laws of physics, black can not be emitted as a light source.
