What does the 'L' symbol mean?

I know the 'Cloud' is for Cloudy situations.
The 'Sun' is Daylight.
Does 'L' mean LED?

There are L and H type florescent bulbs, so it could stand for "L" florescent. It is highly unlikely that it stands for LED, as LED light has the potential to have a HUGE Kelvin range. The Kelvin (K) numbers next to them indicate the color temperature that each preset is aiming for. Lower Kelvin numbers (e.g., 2800K for incandescent) represent warmer, more orange/yellow light, while higher Kelvin numbers (e.g., 6500K for cloudy skies) represent cooler, more blue light.

@TAnderson Typically LED rating is 4000K, so I would suspect that the "L" stands for LED.
