We report on the potential of today's LED technologies to approximate Spectral Power Distributions (SPDs) aimed at optimizing specific performance goals. We compare numerically optimal SPDs to actual SPDs produced by a 16‐channel LED light source, aiming at optimizing performance for six different applications. These theoretical and practical limits of the potential of current LED technologies can serve as guidelines for the design of future LED sources for different applications.
