How LED Lights Change Color - Exploring the Technology Behind it
Gone are the days of using lighting gels to change the color of a light source. Nowadays, one small diode is enough to supply an endless amount of colors. But what is it about LEDs, in comparison to traditional bulbs, that allows them to change color? How can something so technologically advanced be so small? The Innovation of Color - Changing LEDs A color-changing LED contains three separate diodes within the same bulb casing. Each of these diodes emits its own, specific color – red, green, or blue. When all three diodes are switched on at full capacity, white light is produced. Adjusting the intensity of each diode allows a range of different colors and shades to be created. Colored LEDs are all around us. As well as decorative applications, they’re being used for communication and indication purposes. Just look at the Amazon Echo! Want to know more? Then let’s get started. In this blog, I’ll be talking about how colored LEDs work, whether you can change the color of your existing LE...
