The light from white LED lamps and LED strip lights is usually provided by industry standard surface-mounted device LEDs (SMD LEDs). [2] Non-SMD types of LED lighting also exist, such as COB (chip on board) and MCOB (multi-COB). Surface-mounted device LED modules are described by the dimensions of the LED package. A single multicolor module may ...
LED tubes. LED tube is a type of LED lamp used in fluorescent tube luminaires with G5 and G13 bases to replace traditional fluorescent tubes. [1] As compared to fluorescent tubes, the most important advantages of LED tubes are energy efficiency and long service life. LED tubes are sometimes also referred to as ‘LED fluorescent tubes’.
Fluorescent lamps in various embodiments. Since their introduction as a commercial product in 1939, many different types of fluorescent lamp have been introduced. Systematic nomenclature identifies mass-market lamps as to overall shape, power rating, length, color, and other electrical and illuminating characteristics.
CIE Publication 15:2018 introduces nine new illuminants representing several white LEDs with CCTs ranging from 2700~6600 K. [28] LED-B1 through B5 define standard LED illuminants with phosphor-converted blue light. LED-BH1 defines a blend of phosphor-converted blue and a red LED. LED-RGB1 defines the white light produced by a tricolor LED mix ...
In the early 1990s, Shuji Nakamura, Hiroshi Amano and Isamu Akasaki invented blue light-emitting diodes that were dramatically more efficient than their predecessors, bringing a new generation of bright, energy-efficient white lighting and full-color LED displays into practical use and winning the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Simple LED (Light Emitting Diode) circuit diagram. In electronics, an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode (LED). The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the LED at the required brightness, but must limit the current to prevent damaging the LED.
Green usually appears as the brightest color with a brightness as high as 2 cd/m 2 [6] and red appears the least bright. For comparison, most consumer desktop liquid crystal displays have luminances of 200 to 300 cd/m 2. [7] Sizes range from tiny tubes small enough to fit on the hand of a watch to ones the size of a pencil.
Fluorescent tubes can have an outer silicone coating applied by dipping the tube into a solution of water and silicone, and then drying the tube. This coating gives the tube a silky surface finish, and protects against moisture, guaranteeing a predictable surface resistance on the tube when starting it.
