COLOR COMBINTIONS OF LED LIGHTS
In LED lights ‘Color’ refers to the color of light that the diode emits – this can be any color. Colored LEDs are all around us, in decorative applications, also being used for communication and indication purposes. LEDs can generate up to 16 million colors. The material used in the semiconducting element of LED determines its color. A color-changing LED contains three separate diodes within the same bulb casing. Each of these diodes emits its own, specific color – red, green, or blue. When all three diodes are switched on at full capacity, white light is produced. Adjusting the intensity of each diode allows a range of different colors and shades to be created. RGB Concept The RBG concept is an additive model, these colors are used because our eyes see all colors as different combinations of red, green, and blue wavelengths. Red and amber LEDs use the aluminum indium gallium phosphide (AlInGaP) material system. Green diodes, whereas, use gallium phosphide and blue...
