The document discusses light emitting diodes (LEDs). It begins by explaining what LEDs are and how they work using electroluminescence. It describes how LEDs are constructed to release photons outward, unlike ordinary diodes. The document then covers the different types of LEDs like miniature LEDs, application specific LEDs, LED strips, downlights and spotlights. It discusses the advantages of LEDs such as energy efficiency and longevity. Applications of LEDs are also presented, including in residential, commercial and automotive uses. The document concludes that LEDs have transformed lighting with efficiency and versatility and will play an increasingly significant role in sustainable lighting solutions.
