Visual Light Communication (VLC) is a system that uses light wavelength that is not injurious to the eye for communication purposes. This system provides a solution to some technological problems like increasingly limited availability of conventional bandwidths for electronic equipment.Recent development in Solid-state lighting (SSL) allows it to be highly efficient, longer life time and versatile. Having these advantages made SSL to be highly acceptable by the public and is slowly replacing the conventional fluorescent lamp. The improvement and acceptability of the solid-state lighting allows a great advancement in the development of VLC.However, the focus of the development of SSL are for lighting purposes and not VLC system. This report will investigate the degradation behaviour of SSL under various stress condition like temperature, frequency, Modulation Index and draft out a operating guideline for practical implementation of SSL on VLC system.
