LED technology
.
– SMD (surface mounted device) LED: LED
that reflow-soldered the surface a
printed circuit board (using reflow oven). The spectrum
of LEDs offers major benefit: only light
(electromagnetic radiation the visible
range) and ultraviolet infrared radiation
is emitted.72
The Lighting Handbook
Functions and types LEDs
An LED (light-emitting diode) electronic
semiconductor component that emits light
when current flows through it.
Basically, there are three types LED:
– Standard through-hole LED: often used as
indicator light source, although with low
light output.g. Due their shorter service
life, higher probability failure and sensi-
tivity radiation, they are not used in
lighting technology.e. This allows dense arrangement of
chips close each other.
– CoB (chip board) LED: the LED chip is
mounted directly the printed circuit
board
