LED (5mm)

LED 

• Function: LEDs emit light when an electric current passes through them. They convert electrical energy directly into light energy.
• Types: LEDs come in various types including:
  • Standard LEDs: Emit light in a single color (e.g., red, green, blue).
  • RGB LEDs: Emit light in multiple colors by combining red, green, and blue light sources.
  • Multicolor LEDs: Emit light in more than three colors, often programmable for different hues.
  • High-Power LEDs: Produce more intense light output suitable for illumination purposes.
  • Surface Mount LEDs (SMD): Compact LEDs used for smaller electronic devices and PCBs.
• Advantages:
  • Energy Efficiency: LEDs are highly efficient, converting most of the electrical energy into light.
  • Long Lifespan: Typically last tens of thousands of hours, far longer than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lights.
  • Compact Size: Available in small sizes, making them suitable for various applications.
  • Instantaneous Lighting: Light up instantly without warm-up time.
  • Durability: Solid-state components resistant to shock and vibration.
• Applications:
  • General Lighting: Used in household lighting, automotive lighting, streetlights, and signage.
  • Display Technology: Found in TVs, computer monitors, and digital screens.
  • Indicator Lights: On electronic devices to indicate power, status, or alerts.
  • Decorative Lighting: In holiday decorations, architectural lighting, and art installations.
  • Scientific and Industrial: Used in sensors, scientific instruments, and machinery indicators.
