'Such systems use modulated light wavelengths emitted (and received) by a variety of suitably adapted standard sources, such as indoor and outdoor lighting, displays, illuminated signs, televisions, computer screens, digital cameras and digital cameras on mobile phones for communication purposes, primarily through the use of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

Their use may help provide both partial and full solutions to a number of technological problems: increasingly limited availability of conventional bandwidths for electronic equipment; possible communications interference with sensitive electrical equipment; data security;and perceived [very real] negative health consequences when exposed to raised radiofrequency and microwave levels.'
