How Do LEDs Work? An LED is a semiconductor device (diode) that emits light when an electric current passes through it. The diode produces a monochromatic (one colour) light on a single wavelength ranging from red (˜700 nanometres) to blue-violet (˜400 nanometres). Because LEDs produce a pure colour of light, tinted lenses are not needed to filter the light to the desired colour. As a result, all of the visible light is projected from the LED. LEDs consume very little power – they are up to 90 percent efficient, which means that only a small proportion of the input energy is consumed to produce heat. In comparison, traditional light sources (e.g., incandescent bulbs) are 5 to 10 percent efficient, with 90 percent or more of the input energy wasted in the form of heat. Another type of LED currently under development is made up of semiconducting organic polymers. These organic LEDs (OLEDs) are only about 10 percent efficient but are expected to be less expensive to manufacture than regular LEDs.
Solid State Lighting Basics (LED) Solid State Lighting (SSL): Lighting that uses semiconductors to convert electricity into light. Other lighting technologies use filaments, gas, or plasma. Thermal Management: A heat sink is a means of dissipating heat. Appropriate thermal management is critical in LED systems to reach the expected product lifespan. Life (hours): For LED products, lamp life is considered to be the point at which the light output has depreciated to 70% of the initial output.

Dimming LEDs In a sense all LEDs are dimmable, the chip (LED) is not what dictates if it can be dimmed. The driver (like a fluorescent ballast) is what has to have the internal components to allow this to work.

Intent to have manufacturers develop high-quality / high efficiency solid state lighting products to replace the common light bulb. $10M for 60W inc replacement / $5M for PAR38 inc replacement. Winning products must be similar to the products targeted for replacement, in terms of size, shape, operating environment, and light quantity, distribution, and quality. “60W” must deliver minimum 900 lumens / 27K-30K / 25,000 hours. “More than 90 lm/W.” PAR38 must deliver minimum 1350 lumens / 27K-30K / 25,000 hours. Philips submitted first entry for 60W replacement (10W). Only 1400 sample lamps nationally & LDL has 4! (current testing for lumen depreciation).
