Over the past five years, LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights up more and more popular and more accessible. While the technology that was discovered in early 1900, has been used for decades in commercial applications such as billboards, traffic signals and output signals, has now made its way into the house in a nice little 'more than the display on your electric alarm clock.
The many uses and the type of LED lights
Also known asSolid-state lighting, LEDs use a variety of inorganic semiconductor materials for light, creating the visible to the naked eye. These materials, which vary depending on the desired color, they are coated in a durable plastic, so that light can be used in many practical applications in everything from a simple calculator for advanced electronics.
Some of the many other elements include the use of LED lights to automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles,and boats, traffic lights, exit signs, emergency runway lights at airports, and lanterns and flashlights. Places like Las Vegas would be very different, not to mention, mostly dark, without the use of LEDs. Some museums are now LED lights as the amount of ultraviolet (UV), compared to the heat, which is distinguished from other types of light can be emitted negligible and keeps valuable works of art and artifacts safe from sensitive heatDamage.
Extremely useful in medical applications, including pulse oximeter to measure the amount of oxygen saturation in the blood, even the LED lights on their screens, and used in a method for disinfecting water and in a particular type of light therapy for treat acne. Computer and Optical Mouse with LED, along with a good variety of sports equipment, toys, flashlights, cell phones, remote controls and video games.
Forthe purpose of pure light, LEDs are also used for light bulbs, grow lights for garden work, street lighting, architectural lighting, stage lighting, video screens large and emergency lighting for police vehicles, fire trucks and ambulances.
As technology continues further, it is expected that LED lights are soon used throughout the interior and exterior of the home, people can change both the color and intensity of its light with the flick of a switch, creating aVariety of special effects and moods.
There are basically three different types of LED lamps and alpha-numeric, and lighting in miniature. Each of these types in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as plastic which contains the location of the diode is formed in many different forms. Cluster of LEDs can be placed in straight lines, since they watch or characters in a series of geometric patterns that are both uniform and irregular.
Some of the many advantages of LEDsLights include:
- Almost all LED lights dimmed in time, as too abrupt, "burning", as other bulbs do not meet. The average length of most types of LED lights is an amazing 35000-50000 hours of operation, compared to an average of 1 to 2000 hours of light from fluorescent bulbs and 30,000 for.
- There is no mercury or hazardous materials in LED lights so they are deleted after the right of the regularWaste instead of the need for attention the way fluorescent lamps must be disposed of.
- As the housing to accommodate the materials used to produce a durable epoxy-based LED is made of plastic, are virtually indestructible and can be used in harsh outdoor conditions and to resist.
Some of the known drawbacks of LED lighting are:
- LEDs are much more expensive, at least initially, at a basic price per lumenCompared to traditional forms of lighting.
- The overall performance of the LEDs mainly depends on the temperature of 'ambient or room temperature. Sufficient heat dissipation of the diode is required if the application is in regular contact with high temperatures.
- LEDs are not capable of collimated beams of light, rays of light that are parallel to each other, how they are used in lasers, are without the addition of a collimatingLens.
