LED Lighting Technology By: Dan Kaser 9/17/2007 What Are LED’s? LED is an acronym for Light Emitting Diode Instead of a filament they use a semiconductor diode which emits narrow-spectrum light. Depending on the composition condition of the semiconducting material used (Silicone, germanium), they come in either Infrared for sensing heat, Visible for every day use, or Near-Ultraviolet for spotting stains at a crime-scene. An LED consists of a chip of semiconducting material that has been “doped” with impurities in order to create a p-n junction. A p-n junction is basically a junction between a
