What is LED technology

        LED stands for Light-Emitting-Diode, and it's technology that has been around for a while. Basically, the main difference between an LED light from a regular one is that in the regular lighting that most people know and love, when current flows through, energy is released through a form of heat. In an LED light, an electric current passes through and shows light through the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to, well, be released.

        LED lighting in the past used to be created using semiconductor material such as gallium arsenide and were limited to only a few colors (mainly blue or green). Newer LEDs are made from synthetic materials such as Polyphenylene vinylene and can produce light of any color. LED-based lighting bulbs exhaust a small amount of electricity and endure for over 100,000 hours, that's 30 to 40 years without dying out. Light-Emitting-Diodes can emit Infrared/Ultraviolet lights. LED an is incandescent and fluorescent light technology which currently are replacing the old bulbs for Europeans, and soon to be mandatory in the United States as well.

        LED lights use 1/3 of the power that regular lights do. I'm sure every house owner would love to save money on electricity bills by switching to the more efficient, LED light. because Light-Emitting-Diodes save so much energy, and don't rely on heat, they go as far as helping the environment go green by helping decrease global warming. Nowadays, LED lighting technology have become a popular demand in today's market. By now you may have already replaced your old TV without a new, LED-Based flat panel television. Heck, some of you are probably ready this through your new LED lighted computer screen!
