LEDs are powered by direct current (DC) power. They require the voltage and current that they are built for. LEDs are diodes which means that current will only flow one way through them, if you wire up a LED backwards it will not function.

What is meant by LEDs?

LEDs are a kind of light that does not run on a bulb, like a typical lamp or overhead light. Rather, it is powered by a diode that emits light. This light is brighter, clearer, and less harsh than that provided by a bulb.


Which is a more powerful light - 95 leds or 128 leds?

If your compairing apples to apples like 3 watt leds to 3w leds then 128. The more leds the higher the power.


Do light emitting diodes leak fluid?

Light emitting diodes, or LEDs, contain no liquid so they will not leak fluid. The only possible exception is very high powered LEDs that may use liquid cooling around them. Even then, a leak will come from parts other than the LED.


Are LEDs dimmable?

Yes, LEDs are dimmable.


When to connect LEDs in parallel?

Basically, when LEDs are connected in parallel, the LEDs with the lowest resistance will be the brightest, the other LEDs will be dimly lit or not lit at all. Therefore, use LEDs with the same model number and colour.


What is normal energy consumption of electric candles?

Electric candles are powered mostly by Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs). These electric candles have a normal energy consumption rate of between 3 and 5 Watts.


Do light up shoes catch on fire?

Nope.!... The lights in them are simply low-power LEDs. They're powered by 'button' cells - which generate very small voltages (typically 3 volts each !),


Trying to make some indicators for a bike and am going to use 1.5 volt leds and a 12 volt 11ah battery by putting 8 leds in series was wondering whether resistors are needed not to short the leds?

Resistors will be needed in all cases when driving LEDs from a voltage source, unless you are using LEDs that already have a built in current limiting IC inside the package (a few do these days, for example I have some blinking LEDs that need no resistor they have a blinker IC built in that also limits current).However you have another problem that you obviously are not aware of. 8 LEDs rated at 1.5V in series totals exactly 12V. But your battery is only rated at 12V. As the battery discharges its voltage slowly drops, the moment it drops under 12V all the LEDs will turn off! I strongly recommend that you use no more than 7 LEDs rated at 1.5V in a circuit powered by a 12V battery, so that the battery can actually gets a chance to discharge beyond its knee voltage. In this case the resistor will drop the remaining voltage, whatever it is depending on the charge state of your battery.

What are the different types of LEDs?

LEDs come in different types based on how they’re used. The most common ones are: Miniature LEDs – Used in remote controls, indicators, toys High-Power LEDs – Bright and long-lasting, used in industrial lights RGB LEDs – Change colors, great for displays and mood lighting SMD LEDs – Found in strip lights, TVs, and flat panels COB LEDs – Give strong, focused light, perfect for spotlights and studio setups Bi-color & Tri-color LEDs – Offer multiple colors in one unit If you’re looking for professional lighting—like for film, photo, or ad shoots—brands like Godox and Aputure offer solid options. But for serious, high-performance studio lighting, Ilfords Cine Lighting Equipment (available on Pepagora) brings lighting tools that are built for creators. Whether you’re an indie filmmaker or running a small production team, they understand your struggle for quality lighting without blowing the budget. It’s made for creators, by people who get it.
