Light emitting diodes are a modern light source which works on the principle of the light-emitting diode (LED). It is an electronic component based on semiconductors. This semiconductor consists of silicon for non-illuminating diodes and of a gallium compound for illuminating diodes. By applying electrical current, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation and light are generated. The infrared radiation of the LED can be found in most remote controls in the household.Diode technology is currently replacing halogen technology as a light source. High energy efficiency and compact design make the LED particularly attractive. It has been used in the automotive industry since 2001, as it requires virtually no reaction time. It was the first indicator and rear light to find its way into our cars. Since 2008, modern headlamps are also equipped with this diode technology. It has also been used for a long time in traffic lights and as street lighting. Since this technology can also be used more and more for normal household lighting, the LED is increasingly replacing the light bulb. In all electrical devices with indicator lights, the diode is used. Although the luminous efficacy of the first generations was relatively low, the colour design allowed it to be used as signal lamps. As development progresses, there are currently hardly any restrictions in the areas of application.
