Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED.

You’re still being reductive. An indicator LED can work without any part of it more than 10 °C above ambient temperature. No incandescent light bulb can achieve this.

And yes, there are indeed lighting systems that use many low-power LED chips spread over a large area, none of which get hot even by human standards. These cost a lot of money but last extremely long.
