It is measured in wavelength, between 380 and 760 nanometers. Both sides of the visible spectrum are ultraviolet and infrared light, both of which are invisible to us. Incandescent lamps and LED bulbs emit very different spectra. When a light source is working, part of its energy will be burned as the heat turns into infrared light. A very smooth curve is seen from above. Its strongest light is towards the red end of the visible spectrum. When light approaches the end of what we can perceive, most of its energy (up to 90%) is burned off...
