Continuing our quest to find the most obscure topic with obsessive fans, today we stumble across the LED Museum - a site dedicated to changing the way you think about tiny little lights:
If you're like most people, you probably think of those dim red or yellow-green lights on the fronts of stereos and the red digits in alarm clocks.Complete with reviews of individual LEDs:This website was put here to hopefully change your mind about these small miracles of quantum technology. For no longer is the LED some dim little indicator light - and no longer do they only come in red or puke green. Today's LEDs can be found in just about every color of the spectrum, and in the invisible regions at each end too. They even come in white, plus they last up to 100,000 hours or even more before they need to be replaced! This makes them especially well-suited for Christmas lights and other forms of decorative lighting.
This is ETG's latest offering in the green part of the spectrum. It is a bright lime green in color, noticeably less whitish than the typical Nichia green in the most commonly available rank. Dominant wavelength was eyeballed to be around 528-529nm; this was confirmed with a spectral analysis that was later taken.Back to Compendium
Lighting product of the furture. Possibly as little as two years away from commercial application in homes and retail establisments.
