Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor

material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor.

LEDs have been around for many years -- they light up digital clocks, Christmas lights, flashlights and traffic signals, and they tell you when you've got a new voicemail message on your cell phone. But as far as household lighting goes, LEDs have never really taken off. Certain drawbacks have kept companies from manufacturing them in standard, replacement-size light bulb form.

In some ways, LED light bulbs are a perfect technology. But they still have a way to go before they become the higher-efficiency bulb of choice.

How does an led light bulb work?

LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) work on DC current, not AC, so the AC needs to be stepped down to an appropriate voltage via a transformer (probably only a few volts), converted to DC via a rectifier and filter (to smooth out the ripple current). there are a constant driver in side the 120V AC led light bulb , this driver transfer the AC to DC, so the led could work with DC.

How does an 120VAC LED light bulb work?

A 120VAC LED light bulb works by converting the alternating current (AC) voltage from the power source into direct current (DC) using an internal driver circuit. The LED chip then emits light when the current passes through it, producing light efficiently without generating as much heat as traditional incandescent bulbs. The voltage is regulated to ensure that the LED remains at its optimal operating conditions and brightness.

How do LED displays work?

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) do not have a filament, like other bulbs do. They emit light by moving electrons inside the bulb. LED displays use up less energy than other displays.
