LED (Light-Emitting Diode)
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are small electrical components that emit light. They work by combining complementing types of semiconductors. LEDs are traditionally used to indicate the status of equipment. They may show if a device is on, off, or in standby mode. Several LEDs may indicate a level of input or output, such as volume on a mixing desk. Many car dashboards also use LEDs to indicate speed or distance traveled. In recent years, LEDs have been adopted as an energy-saving alternative to incandescent and fluorescent lightbulbs.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About LED (Light-Emitting Diode)
By switching to LED devices, SMBs can cut energy costs and achieve their environmental targets. LEDs produce a more natural quality of light than incandescent bulbs, which makes them a better option for retail or showroom settings, as the colors appear richer and brighter.
