Reply to comment by HeavyMetalOverbite in TIL in 1962 a General Electric engineer named Nick Holonyak developed the first LED light bulb capable of emitting visible red light. The same bulb was used in the 1964 stop animation animated TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for Rudolph’s bioluminescent nose. by undergroundgeek

LEDs are often enclosed in bulbs to diffuse the light and protect the chip(s).
