LED
A Light Emitting Diode is a semiconducting device that emits light when an electric current runs through it. It uses significantly less power, releases less heat, and lasts a lot longer than an incandescent light bulb.

Light-emitting diode
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor diode that emits incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrically biased in the forward direction of the p-n junction. This effect is a form of electroluminescence.
An LED is usually a small area source, often with extra optics added to the chip that shapes its radiation pattern. The color of the emitted light depends on the composition and condition of the semiconducting material used, and can be infrared, visible, or near-ultraviolet. An LED can be used as a regular household light source.
