Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor
material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor.

∙ 8y agoLEDs have been around for many years -- they light up digital clocks, Christmas lights, flashlights and traffic signals, and they tell you when you've got a new voicemail message on your cell phone. But as far as household lighting goes, LEDs have never really taken off. Certain drawbacks have kept companies from manufacturing them in standard, replacement-size light bulb form.
In some ways, LED light bulbs are a perfect technology. But they still have a way to go before they become the higher-efficiency bulb of choice.

What does LED stand for in LED lights?
Light Emitting Diode - LED
What led zepplin song had bagpipes in them?

In NY is it legal to have a white LED license plate light?
Yes. explanation: Most states require the license place to be lighted. Some states require the specific color of the light to be white. No states have any restriction on exactly how the light is created as to LED/xenon/incandescent.
What is light industrial work?
Light industrial work might be a factory job where there are few duties besides running one machine. Light industrial work might be general factory work or a cleaning position in a hospital or factory.
What does the LED do in the curcuit?
The main function of an LED (Light Emitting Diode) is simply to show a "light." LEDs can be used singularly, as in a hand torch, or in groups, as in the lights used on vehicles, and illuminated signboards, etc. The advantage of LEDs over conventional filament bulbs is low power requirements, long life and robustness.
Why does your left LED brake light not work at all and your right LED brake light work when taillights are on?
you need to repair the lights and they will both work and your taillights will work properly
Will a regular led light bulb work as a grow light?
Yes you can use it.
How does a continuous lighting led light work and how about falconeyes dv-405v led light?
It has a very powerful battery to stay light and bybreqular maintenance it will sta light. y
Whose work led to the widespread use of electric or incadescent light?
Amara Doser
How does an led light bulb work?
LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) work on DC current, not AC, so the AC needs to be stepped down to an appropriate voltage via a transformer (probably only a few volts), converted to DC via a rectifier and filter (to smooth out the ripple current). there are a constant driver in side the 120V AC led light bulb , this driver transfer the AC to DC, so the led could work with DC.
How does an 120VAC LED light bulb work?
LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) work on DC current, not AC, so the AC needs to be stepped down to an appropriate voltage via a transformer (probably only a few volts), converted to DC via a rectifier and filter (to smooth out the ripple current). there are a constant driver in side the 120V AC led light bulb , this driver transfer the AC to DC, so the led could work with DC.
What type of diode produces light when properly biased?
That would be an LED or Light Emitting Diode an LED is a light
LED stands for Light-Emitting?
LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode.
What does LED stand for in LED lights?
Light Emitting Diode - LED
How do light gates work?
Light gate have a beam that rubs from one LED/IR light source onto a detector. The beam is "Cut" whenever movement is detected.
A LED light of 3 watts gives off the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb of 45 watts This means that the LED light.?
A 3 watt led light is not the same as a 45 watt bulb. A led light is a lot brighter.
How do dance pads work?
By small sensors in the middle area which connect to led lights which light up when stepped on.
