We can finally repurpose all those old IrDA devices! 
Seriously, why is using the visible spectrum better than using the infrared spectrum for this purpose?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Because visible light has higher bandwidth than IR?
|
|

Visible light frequency range: 430..790 THz (that's Tera Hertz)
Infrared frequency range: 0.3..430 THz
What application(s) do you have that require Tera-Hertz bandwidth?

I believe visible light travels further and reflects better so should get to a few more places, like the back of a PC.
OTOH, they say LiFi has better security than WiFi because 'light doesn't go through walls,' so the guys in the next building can't get your signals, but, but, unless of course they have windows (glass ones that is) that face your windows - and again with light having a longer range it could be any building on the street with LOS to your office windows. So once more only real security will be encryption.
They don't mention, what if you have different networks in the office, with WiFi can use separate channels, but with LiFi? Likely they will need to add baggage to the data to separate; it will be fast enough but will add complexity - and as everybody knows complexity = more issues, more failures and higher costs.
(Also won't be able to stream movies using the company WiFi when sitting on the toilet.)
It's a good idea, but it won't beat let alone replace RF.

WiFi and LiFi are both electromagnetic energy and in fact are just different spectrums of the EM band. So, if you can have different WiFi channels you can have different LiFi channels. A WiFI channel after all, is just a EM frequency range, hence a LiFi channel will be the same.
In any case, LiFi will likely be used only for "Internet of Things".

I guess can use different frequencies of light, be a bit tighter though so again troublesome.

Black lights are the only true security!
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

...temperature barely above zero and there still is snow. For those that live in the desert: That's water that falls from the sky as fine ice crystals.
Now I have the choice: Yet another debugging session of a huge piece of code that I ported to framework 4.2 and now has some problems. A shader (that's code for the graphics processor) which previously worked simply does nothing anymore. The .Net code in the graphics engine still does its job and feeds polygons and textures to the shader, there are no exceptions or any other signs of trouble, but nothing is rendered. Everything still worked until I had to recompile the shader as well. The problem probably is not on the .Net side, It looks like the compiler for the shader has some problems, even if it worked well for the other shaders.
Anyway, my other choice is to charge batteries and go out on a field and fly with the heli for the first time this year. Do we need a poll to make that decision?

You must keep in mind: when the poles ice melts, we will all be up to our necks in water. The bigger question still is where the Poles got all that ice from and what they need it for.

You've just failed middle-school physics.
When the North Polar ice cap melts, the sea level will not rise by even a millimeter. That is because the northern ice cap floats on the water below. According to Archimedes' Law, it already displaces the amount of water that it would displace were it to melt.
I grant you that the melting of the South Polar ice cap will raise the sea level by 50-60 meters, which will have a major effect on coastal cities. It will also turn my apartment into a valuable beach-front property (yay!  ). However, at present it appears that the South Polar ice cap is gaining ice.

Well, clearly it is stealing it from the North Pole.
