Lighting – LED Technology 1. What is it LED light bulb refers a solid-state lamp that uses light-emitting diodes as the sources of light. LED light bulb produces light when electrons move around within its semiconductor structure. It has a longer service life and high higher energy efficiency than other source of lighting such as fluorescent and incandescent light bulb though its initial cost is much higher. LED light bulb has wide range of applications including both general and specific.

different lengths of light waves. Introduction Photosynthesis is an exceptionally interesting process that is used by some organisms and plants. In the conversion of light energy from the sun to chemical energy that is used as food‚ photosynthesis is used for the everyday undertakings by some organisms and plants during their life span. This complex method of energy production is also represented by the equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 +6O2 (Campbell‚ 2008). The sun’s light waves‚ also known
