Calculating the Bit error rate (BER) for a Visible Light Communication (VLC)

I am trying to calculate the bit error rate (BER) for a visible light communication LED source.
Based on the code of this link Number of bit errors and bit error rate (BER) I calculate the BER. Unfortunately, the results that I got were unreasonable as shown below:

but according to this link https://fr.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/biterr.html?s_tid=srchtitle_biterr_1
their results like below:
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1079580/image.jpeg)
Why is my estimated BER so far off from the theoretical one?
Is there anyone who calculated the BER for a VLC before? May I get an assistance, please?
