Light Emitting Diode
A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current is passed through it. In aviation, LEDs are commonly used for aircraft lighting systems, including navigation lights, anti-collision lights, landing lights, and cockpit lighting. LEDs offer several advantages over traditional incandescent bulbs, including lower power consumption, longer lifespan, and increased durability. Additionally, LEDs can be designed to emit specific colors, making them ideal for aviation lighting applications where color differentiation is important.
