The image shows an artist's abstraction of digitally controlled RYGB lasers color‐mixed to create white light, created by Hanqing Kuang and George Wang. The long‐term route to ultra‐efficient and smart lighting might well be some variant of this architecture, as phosphors must give way to multi‐color semiconductor electroluminescence. On page 809, the current status of solid‐state lighting is reviewed by J. Y. Tsao et al., including some of the associated technological challenges.
