LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, is a semiconductor device which converts electricity into light. LEDs are better at placing light in a single direction than luminous or fluorescent bulbs. They have unique design features due to their directional output that can be exploited by clever and innovative designs. The small size LED lights encourage a variety of design options and can be used as indicator lamps in many devices, increasingly used for lighting. There are LED strips that can be used under cabinets. In remote control units of many commercial products, Infrared LEDs are used, such as in televisions, DVD players, AC, and other domestic appliances.
Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting (such as indicators) and in traffic signals. These are very much common in our day-to-day life. It is an electronic component that let electricity pass in only one direction, i.e. the diode that emits visible light when electricity is applied. It is much like a light bulb. As far as home lighting is concerned, new strides are being made not only in energy efficiency, but in durable aspect, and so the light emitting diode bulbs can be used which are energy efficient and long lasting. It is actually a cluster of individual units which produce white light or generate light of other wavelength depends on the desired light tone.
There are various types of LED lights found in any number of electronic devices. Some of them are:
Miniature
High-Power
Super Flux
Flashing
Bi-color
Tri-color and RGBAll these can be used in various electronic devices for different purposes. Since LED lights are durable, energy efficient, having long lasting effects with many features. It can be available in a range of colors which produce all colors of the spectrum without filters, also produce white light in a variety of color temperatures and remain cool to the touch.
