The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

Four New Jersey cities have begun testing new street lamps powered by light-emitting diodes. The new LED lamps are expected to reduce energy consumption significantly, have a longer life expectancy ...

This circuit can be used to test up to three LEDs at once, connected in series. You can easily increase that number by using a higher supply voltage. If you do so, you should allow 2.7 V for each ...

If you’ve worked on a project with small LEDs, you know the frustration of determining their polarity. This ingenious LED Probe from [David] packs a lot of useful features into a simple, ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

The global market for high-brightness and high-power LEDs is forecast to reach $27.5 billion by 2024, with much of the growth coming from the automotive sector, where demand is growing at more than 10 ...

Advances in the power output of light emitting diodes (LEDS) have allowed a LED light curing unit (LCU) with an 8 mm diameter light guide tip to achieve a similar depth of cure in a camphorquinone ...
