Default Is it possible to over illuminate an orchid with LED light?

I was thinking, the reason low light plants die when exposed to full sun or traditional grow lights is that they can't handle the other wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that these lights throw at them, especially in the ultraviolet and infrared. However, LED lights produce only one wavelength per LED, one that is suited especially for plant growth. What happens when an orchid that is supposed to get low light gets more LED light than it requires? Can it tolerate it?
