**What is an LED Light?**
LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is a type of semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it. The core component of an LED lamp is a small chip made of electroluminescent materials. This chip is typically mounted on a bracket using silver or white glue and then connected to the circuit board via thin wires—either silver or gold. Afterward, the entire assembly is sealed with epoxy resin to protect the internal components from damage. Finally, an outer casing is added, giving the LED lamp excellent resistance to vibrations and shocks, making it highly durable.
White LEDs are commonly created in two main ways. The first method uses "blue light technology," where a blue LED is coated with phosphor materials that convert part of the blue light into other wavelengths, resulting in white light. The second method involves combining different monochromatic lights—such as red, green, and blue—to produce white light. Both techniques have proven successful in creating high-quality white light sources.
In recent years, white LEDs have found numerous applications. For example, Germany’s Hella has introduced aircraft reading lights powered by white LEDs, while Canberra, Australia, has implemented white LEDs for street lighting. In China, many urban traffic signals are now being replaced with white LED-based systems. It is expected that in the near future, white LEDs will become a common lighting solution in homes, gradually replacing traditional incandescent and fluorescent lights due to their energy efficiency and longer lifespan.
**What is the Wavelength Range of a Common White LED Source?**
The typical wavelength range of a white LED is between 450 to 460 nanometers (nm). This corresponds to the blue region of the visible spectrum, which is then modified using phosphors or combined with other colors to produce white light.
**Spectral Alignment of Various Light Sources**
Visible light spans a wavelength range from approximately 360 nm to 830 nm. Unlike other light sources, LED illumination falls entirely within this visible range, making it more efficient and safer for human eyes.
Fluorescent lamps, on the other hand, emit light that includes ultraviolet radiation below 360 nm, which can be harmful if not properly filtered.
Incandescent bulbs emit light across a broader spectrum, including both ultraviolet and infrared radiation outside the visible range. This makes them less efficient compared to LEDs, as a significant portion of the energy is wasted as heat.
Understanding the spectral characteristics of different light sources helps in selecting the most suitable lighting technology for various applications, ensuring both efficiency and safety.
