Term:
LED
LED = Light Emitting Diodes. An LED is an electronic semiconductor structural component, which emits light in red, green, yellow and blue when a current is passed through. Together with the internal light layer, it creates blue-emitting LED white light. LED lighting has primarily been used for orientation lighting but is now implemented more and more for general lighting purposes. Important parts of LED technology are longevity, no maintenance, absence of IR/UV, extremely energy efficient, colour accuracy.
