LED

LED is the latest and most popular source of light. A light-emitting diode is usually white light that has replaced the earlier dominance of incandescent lights and bulbs. This type of light has given rise to various new technologies since it is very easy to generate and control. Its versatile application has made it the most used type of illumination. It is used in aviation lighting, decor, headlamps, traffic signals, medical devices and various other areas. LED have numerous advantages over older types of lights like it is energy efficient, powerful intense white glow, greater service period, fast switching and smaller in size bulbs or strips. Here we have compiled a list of 5 LED types that you need to know about.

Bi-colour LED

Bicolour led is made by combining tungsten and daylight bulbs. The type of light and balance between two colours from yellow to blue light. Thus, this is a versatile light with various application areas. Bicolour LED finds its main application in shooting studios where light adjustment is very crucial.

RGB LED

Add some colours to life.

These LEDs use three different diodes with three colours- red, green and blue. There can be different intensities to create different shades of these colours. These lights can produce almost any colour and find their use in toys, decor pieces, nightclubs etc.

High power LEDs

This type of LED consumes a greater amount of electricity and provide greater light output. Also, high power LEDs may require more current than conventional LEDs. These don’t just produce intense light but they also produce thermal energy. Thus, it requires a cooling agent for overheating.

SMD LEDs

Energy efficient lights!

Surface-mounted diodes are second-generation LEDs, which are mounted on an aluminium substrate. SMDs offer higher lumen output and consumes very little energy. Thus, this type is very efficient and bright. Usually, these come as a chip or LED strip lights, that is now popular for decorative lighting. Additionally, these also find their use in televisions and other electrical devices.

Sensor LEDs

With progressing technology, LEDs have advanced so much. Now you can install any LEd with motion sensors that detect any motion and turn on the LEd light. This type of Light-emitting diodes has been adapted for both, domestic and industrial use. More and more societies and apartment housing are switching to sensor LED street lights to be energy efficient.

Above mentioned five types are LED are the most popular ones, however, there are many more types that are available in the market. So, to know more about LED lights and bulbs, read the articles below now!
