A light-emittingdiode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emitslight when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron
vacuum tube, the diode (i.e. Fleming valve), was invented in 1904 by John Ambrose Fleming. It contains only a heated electron-emitting cathode and an anode
high-intensity discharge lamps, and light-emittingdiode lamps (LED). Some governments have begun a phase-out of incandescent light bulbs to reduce energy consumption
