The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

This circuit can be used to test up to three LEDs at once, connected in series. You can easily increase that number by using a higher supply voltage. If you do so, you should allow 2.7 V for each ...

Light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy is a cosmetic and medical treatment that uses LED wavelengths to treat various skin conditions, such as acne and psoriasis. You can get this therapy at a ...

Rapid market growth for HB (high-brightness) LEDs is driving what was once a niche industry into full-fledged high-volume production. With the emergence of applications such as display backlighting, ...

If you’ve worked on a project with small LEDs, you know the frustration of determining their polarity. This ingenious LED Probe from [David] packs a lot of useful features into a simple, ...
