What is an LED?
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. It requires much less power, making it very efficient and making its lifespan much longer than most other light elements. Unlike incandescent lamps, LEDs have no filaments that can burn out or fail.
Types of LED’s
Indoor LED Displays:
SMD Red Green Blue LEDs in one package. Some outdoor displays do utilize SMD LEDs.
SMD LED Advantages:
Excellent wide-viewing angle
No color shift at extreme viewing angles
Smooth color from short distance
Outdoor LED Displays:
DIP Individual Red Green Blue LEDs
DIP LED Advantages:
Weather proof
Extremely bright
Great for longer viewing distances
