As far as I'm aware, these "butt cameras" use Nichia SMD white LEDs.
I saw a show on the Discovery channel about six years ago when I had cable that had these LED lighted swallowable cameras on it.
You swallow them, and then flush them away a few days later when you go #2. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

They've actually been around for a few years, but recent developments in SMD white LEDs have enabled them to ditch the short-lasting incandescent bulbs and improvements in RF technology have made the telemetry better also.
