The bandname Led Zeppelin sounds like a riff on buoyancy, or lack thereof. The reality is stranger.
BITD Robert Plant was an enthusiastic environmentalist and took great umbrage at the waste of power in floodlighting a WW2 exhibition that featured a Zeppelin.
Before fronting the band, he fronted a campaign to replace the wasteful incandescent bulbs with the new, just then emerging LED technology, hence "LED Zeppelin".
