Light-Emitting Diode (LED)

LED stands for "Light Emitting Diode" and refers to a semiconductor that emits light when an electric current flows through it. LEDs produce light through electroluminescence: electrons move through the semiconductor material, releasing energy and emitting light in the process. This light can appear in various colors, such as red, green, yellow, or blue, depending on the semiconductor material used. Blue LEDs can also produce white light through an internal luminescent layer or a phosphor coating.

LEDs are extremely energy-efficient, durable, and versatile. They are used in lighting technology, electronics, the automotive industry, and displays. Compared to conventional incandescent bulbs, they consume significantly less energy and have a longer lifespan, making them the preferred choice for environmentally friendly lighting solutions. In addition, LEDs offer dimmability and color control, allowing them to be adapted to a variety of requirements.
