LED 5mm White Each
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The colour of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photons) is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor. White light is obtained by using multiple semiconductors or a layer of light-emitting phosphor on the semiconductor device.
What is a Light Emitting Diode?
An LED is a cutting-edge semiconductor light source that emits light when an electrical current passes through it. When electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, energy is released as photons, producing visible light. The emitted color corresponds to the energy of the photons, determined by the band gap of the semiconductor material. White light is achieved using multiple semiconductors or a phosphor coating on the device.
