If you plug it it in, if it doesn't light it's the wrong way round.
Although these other two are more 'conventional':
-The negative wire is closest to a small flat 'spot' on the LED's base.
-The longer leg is the positive wire

What events led to the invention of the light bulb?
i need you guys to tell me
Will a infrared led kept in sunlight glow or not?
There is no such thing as and an infra-red LED. Nor will an any LED glow without a power source. That power may come from a solar cell but an LED (Light Emitting Diode) emits light it does not collect light energy.
What is wavelength of light emitting from LED?
It depends on the precise material used to make the LED. Different colors of LED emit different wavelengths.
What is the purpose of the incandescent light bulb?
The purpose of the incandescent light bulb is to produce light by passing electricity through a filament, which heats up and emits light. It was one of the first commercially successful ways of producing light and has been widely used for decades in various applications. However, due to its inefficiency in converting electricity to light and low lifespan, it has been largely replaced by more energy-efficient lighting technologies such as LED bulbs.
Is light energy a raw material or a end product?
LED bulbs are specially designed for use in tightly sealed housings that can cause the bulb to overheat. LED bulb solution can physically resemble a familiar light bulb and may well match the appearance of a traditional light bulb. There are a number of vintage light bulbs that use LED filaments to mimic the look and feel of old - contemporary - fluorescent bulbs such as the old and modern. Use one type of LED bulbs Mid-power (SMD) LEDs, which are much lighter and more energy efficient than conventional LED luminaires. How to light an LED bulb: How does a standard LED bulb differ from an LED bulb and how does it differ from a conventional bulb? LED bulb gets hot, the heat sink at the bottom of the bulb pulls some of that heat away, but not everything. If the LED lamp is housed in a closed casing, this heat has no chance of sending it straight back into the lamps and condemning it to a slow and agonizing death. LED Retrofit Module is a bracket that can be attached to the current standard housing without replacing the old bulb hood. It includes the LED bulb base, LED light bulbs and their recessed fairing so you don't have to worry about retaining multiple parts. LED lamps are inserted by plugging their base and then into their retrofit module into the factory housing. To install LED housings and panels, you need to buy more than one component for each of your LED retrofits and LED light bulbs.
What are the 2 ways to find out which is the positive leg and which is negative - led?
On an LED, one leg will be shorter than the other. The shorter leg is the negative polarity.
What happens if you don't connect the LED in its required polarity?
Why nothing at all, of course there will be no light.LEDs being diodes are polarity sensitive devices, which means they will only conduct electricity in one direction. Only when an LED conducts will it emit light.
How do you tell the positive from the negative on a led?
Most LEDs have one lead longer than the other, or a flat side on the rim of the base, to indicate polarity. An LED that has neither of these must be marked in some other way. The only way to identify the polarity of an unmarked LED is to test it. A common AA or C battery in series with a small resistor of 50-100 ohms will do the job. The LED lights when the positive end of the battery ... possibly through the resistor ... goes to the positive end of the LED. (There is no harm to the LED when the battery is connected backwards and the LED doesn't light.)
Does the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active have an LED Notification Light?
From what I can tell, it does not appear to have an LED notification light.
How many ways does LED light TV?
3 ways, each pixel is made up of 3 LED (Light Emitting Diode) each a different color, red, green, and blue, that is if you were asking in reference to a LED flat panel TV! !

How do you know if the webcam is on?
You can tell if your webcam has been hacked if its LED light blinks randomly.
How can I tell if my monitor LCD or LED are there any ways by just looking at it?
LED often has brighter colors, the white color on an LCD is usually yellow-ish.
What is the meaning of led in wrong ways?
led in wrong ways
What type of diode produces light when properly biased?
That would be an LED or Light Emitting Diode an LED is a light
Will reverse polarity damage equipment?
Reversing polarity will most likely damage electronic equipment, especially semiconductor components such as transistors, diodes and LED devices if the voltage is high enough. Other devices may not function at all, will be unaffected (such as incandescent light bulbs), or may work backwards (such as some DC motors.
Where is the function printed on a led wire?
its not printed. polarity is indicated either by length (but this is lost after installation and trimming) or by a flat side on the LED package, or both
