The invention discloses a communication and lighting multiplex LED lamp. The LED lamp comprises two functions, wherein one of the functions is white-light lighting, and the other function is being used as a transmitting terminal of infrared communication. As to the function of lighting, one or more types of rare earth ions such as Dy3+, Sm3+, Tb3+, Eu3+, Eu2+, Ce2+, Tm3+, Ho3+ and the like and transition metal ions such as Mn2+, Sn4+ and the like are taken as an active luminescence center, glass or transparent glass ceramic is taken as a base material, and fluorescent light is excited to be emitted through an ultraviolet or a blue LED chip. The infrared communication transmitting terminal takes an infrared LED chip which is suitable for being used as a short-range wireless infrared communication channel (800nm-1000nm waveband) as a signal emission source, modulated pulses are loaded to a driving circuit of the infrared LED chip, then electric signals are converted into wireless optical signals, and transmission and delivery of information are carried out. The LED lamp disclosed by the invention has the advantages of low preparation cost, good stability, large modulation bandwidth, high modulation power, long service life and small size.
