LED diodes SMD (results: 645)

LED Diodes

Probably most of us heard about LED diodes but not everyone knows what they actually are. And in fact, we are talking about technology which is without a doubt worth one's attention. Check what a LED diode is and what it is used for. Get acquainted with our offer and find out that LED diodes are a good choice.

What is a LED diode?

LED diodes, namely electroluminescent diodes, are a most modern solution in the field of indoor and outdoor illumination. In recent years, this technology gained huge popularity. Despite the fact that it has been significantly improved in recent decades, this invention is nothing new and it dates back to the 1960's.

LED diodes are semiconductor diodes that emit light by using electroluminescence. This phenomenon occurs when electrons transit from higher to lower energy level.      

Why is an LED diode a good choice?

Currently LED diodes are widely used in the industry field, but also in homes, offices and any outdoor space. Whatsmore, they are also applied in cars. Durability, versatility and variety of LED diodes makes applications of this solution limitless. 

Electroluminescence diodes are distinguished by a set of assets which made them replace old technologies. The most notable ones are:

• Very long durability
• Resistance to external factors
• Low power consumption
• Producing small amount of power (Diode does not heat up)
• High light quality
• LED diode has small dimensions
• Low voltage supply required for the diode operation
• Mounting LED diodes does not require professional skills.

Our offer of LED diodes

Our offer consists of any kind of LED diode. In our store, you will find more than 20 subcategories of LED diodes and devices using this kind of diodes. We encourage you to get acquainted with the subcategory where you can find LED diodes for flashlights. In flashlights, most often used diodes are the XM-L type ones. As opposed to other models, the produced beam of light is more complete, however its range is relatively short. It allows to very efficiently illuminate limited space.

High power LEDs are another subcategory. These diodes emit the brightest light that can be produced by using LED technology. They are suitable for example as car bulbs.

SMD LED diodes deserve particular attention. SMD stands for Surface Mount device, which is simply one of the diode mounting methods. Such a diode has its designated space on the PCB. It is always mounted on the surface, which makes this type of diode, contrary to other types, easier to install.
