LED type
Various types of LEDs or light-emitting devices are available on the market. They differ in shape, size, and how the circuit is formatted. They are affordable and have better lighting and efficiency. It is also durable as it will last a long time.
High-Power LEDs: As the name suggests, these LEDs provide higher output power. Consume more than 1 watt of power. Since they have higher power, the luminosity is also greater. They also last longer than CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lights) and incandescent bulbs and are more environmentally friendly. The installation requires a cooling system as it gives off a lot of heat. High-power LEDs are mainly used in street lights, lamps, traffic lights, etc.
Miniature LEDs: These types of LEDs are common these days. Small in size, fit quickly. It can be easily integrated into a circuit board and does not require any heating or cooling equipment. These are on the market in the 5V and 12V range. It is used in various electronic devices such as mobile phones and calculators.
Application specific: Next, some LEDs are created to perform specific functions. Some application-specific LED examples are; Blinking LEDs, Bi-color LEDs, Tricolor, RGB tri-colour LEDs, Alphanumeric LEDs, and multicolors.
