LED diode

LED Diodes and modules

A large variety of LEDs with different applications. LEDs are LEDs that emit light when an electric current flows through them. The rich range of colors of LEDs depends on the composition of the semiconductor material and the alloying impurities. LEDs have their own housing with a lens that forms and directs the light flow. LEDs have a long life, excellent color quality, instant start, are resistant to vibrations, do not contain harmful impurities (eg mercury), are resistant to extreme temperatures and are small in size. All this contributes to the widespread use of LEDs.

Thanks to the huge popularity of LED lighting, LEDs are the most common semiconductor diodes. They are made of a very thin layer of doped semiconductor alloys, and a very important feature of them is their low inertia, which allows them to operate in pulsed mode at 100MHz. Additional information about LEDs, as well as sample connection diagrams, can be found on the official Wikivat blog and read LED diode part 1 and read part 2.

Colors of the LEDs available

In the Wikivat online store you will find LEDs in the following colors:

• white;
• warm white;
• yellow;
• orange;
• red;
• green;
• son.

Types of LEDs according to their housing

Depending on the housing, LEDs are divided into the following types:

• with metal casing;
• without casing.
