Both are light emitting diodes, but an infrared led emits infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum. With the naked eye, humans can't see infrared light but many cameras can. Infrared leds are used in remote controls and many other applications.

What is infrared led?
An IR LED is used in applcations like remote controls...it's much the same as as a normal Light Emitting Diode...Just that the wavelength of the emitted light is not present in the visible spectrum...
What is a full spectrum led light?
a: LEDS emit different color of light or really different frequency that to us means colors. Some LED are manufacture to provide the full spectrum of frequency. so full spectrum
Who invented LED?
In the fall of 1961, while working at Texas Instruments Inc., James R. Biard and Gary E. Pittman found that gallium arsenide (GaAs) emitted infrared light when electric current was applied. On Aug. 8th, 1962, Biard and Pittman filed a patent based on their findings titled "Semiconductor Radiant Diode" (U.S. Patent US3293513). After establishing the priority of their work based on engineering notebooks predating submissions from G.E. Labs, RCA Research Labs, IBM Research Labs, Bell Labs, and Lincoln Labs at MIT, the U.S. patent office issued the two inventors the first patent for the infrared (IR) light-emitting diode, the first modern LED. After filing the patent, Texas Instruments immediately began a project to manufacture infrared diodes. They announced the first commercial LED product (the SNX-100) in October of 1962.
Do led floodlights work with a photocell?
A: Photocell and LED cannot work directly because these are different devices. But yes each independently can work as a unit all you need is some buffering.
Why does an LED emit light when forward biased?
A special semiconductor material is used in Light Emitting Diodes (LED). When an LED is forward biased, the anode is connected to positive and cathode is connected to negative terminal of the supply, then current flows through the LED, just like in a regular diode. The electrons in the special semiconductor are excited, and when they return to 'normal' state, they give off energy in the form of photons (light rays). One such semiconductor material which is commonly used is gallium arsenide. Note: the photons are not necessarily in the visible light spectrum. The remote control for your television set or DVD player most likely has an infrared LED, to transmit information to the TV.
Where could a person find an infrared led online?
Infrared led can be found in tv remotes or cameras which you can purchase at Radioshack or there is also infrared led used for light therapy for skincare. For skincare infrared led you can go to light4beauty.
How does a LED light works in a motion sensor detector?
Two pairs of Infrared LEDs are used as motion sensor detector. The first one is wired to emit LED and the second is wired to transmit a signal when it receives an infrared input. this infrared is reflected back to the receiving LED and then the signal is produced. This signal can be used to open sliding doors, turn on a light or set off an alarm.
How much voltage the infrared LED need to function?
Just under 2 volts
Do heat lamps give of infrared rays?
Normal LED lamps produce almost no infrared light. However, just like there are LEDs in various colors like red and green, there are also infrared LEDs.
Which component can replace the infrared LED in any electronics circuit?
If a circuit requires an IR LED, it requires an IR LED, there is no replacement. If a circuit does not require an IR LED, there is no need to look for a replacement.
What light bulbs produce little infrared?
Essentially, any bulb will produce some infrared, which is most easily detected as heat. The lowest infrared emitter is GENERALLY the Light Emitting Diode or (LED), followed fairly closely by the Compact Fluorescent (or CFL). I say Generally, because an LED can be manufactured to emit any frequency, and there are infrared LEDs, but these are low power and most often used in remote controls.
How different is the picture between 720p and 1080p in a 19in LED TV?
If you are looking to get a nineteen inch LED television then you should get the one that is 1080p. The picture is very different between the two and you will enjoy the 1080p more.
Where do you find led lights?
You can find them in light bulbs, flashlights and other forms of illumination. If you are looking for LED light bulbs, CREE, PHILIPS, LITENZ are the companies that manufacture LED light bulbs using their own LEDs.
Is an infrared led visible to the naked eye?
The LED itself is visible, the light it emits is not. You can "see" the light by looking at it through a camera, for example the one on your cellphone!
What is the difference between led bar graph led?
There is no difference. They are just different ways of saying the same thing. I hope this helps :)
Which light bulbs give off very little energy as infrared rays?
This is true of LED lights
What is photo interrupter module?
A photo interrupter module for a smoke alarm has a gallium-arsenide infrared LED and silicon phototransistor that is contained in a plastic housing. When smoke interrupts the slot between the receiver and sender, the module is switched on.
