    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting

    The introduction of LED lighting has greatly improved this by approx. 90% when compared to a halogen downlight or spotlight. LED lamps or bulbs are now available to retro fit in place of high energy consumption lamps. Uplighting is less common, often used to bounce indirect light off the ceiling and back down. It is commonly used in lighting ...

    Switch on time: LEDs light up extremely quickly. A typical red indicator LED achieves full brightness in under a microsecond. [69] LEDs used in communications devices can have even faster response times. Focus: The solid package of the LED can be designed to focus its light. Incandescent and fluorescent sources often require an external ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

    Halogen lamps are sometimes used for inspection lights and microscope stage illuminators. Halogen lamps were used for early flat-screen LCD backlighting, but other types of lamps such as CCFL and now LED are used. Halogen lamps are used as the heating element in the fuser of many types of laser printers. The long tubular lamp heats the fuser ...

    The portability of it comes from the low consumption of power. The LED can now use rechargeable batteries, making it much more comfortable and easier to use. The latest [when?] LED curing light cures material much faster than halogen lamps and previous LED curing lights. It uses a single high-intensity blue LED with a larger semiconductor ...

  7. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    The materials used for the LED have a direct band gap with energies corresponding to near-infrared, visible, or near-ultraviolet light. LED development began with infrared and red devices made with gallium arsenide. Advances in materials science have enabled making devices with ever-shorter wavelengths, emitting light in a variety of colors.

  8. LED stage lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_stage_lighting

    A front view of a Stagebar LED striplight. LED stage lighting is a stage lighting technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a light source. LED instruments are an alternative to traditional stage lights which use halogen lamp or high-intensity discharge lamps. Like other LED instruments, they have high light output with lower power ...
