WHAT IS LED?
An LED or light emitting diode is an electronic light source. Just like a standard semiconductor diode, the LED is made up of two junctions. Anode and cathode and we leave the that to the Physicist to understand.
The LED was reported to be first created in 1927 by a Russian physicist but of no practical application not until 1962 when an American physicist at General Electric invented the first LED with practical use like indicators, advertisement displays, remote controls, and in other commercial products.
With the development of a more advanced and powerful LEDs, their applications are unimaginable. LEDs can now be seen everywhere, traffic lights, billboards, automotive lamps, TV displays, and slowly replacing traditional lamps in our homes, offices, and the streets. With the increasing cost of energy, LEDs are now our alternative to incandescents, flourescents, and halogens due to their low power consumption characteristics and longer lifespan.
WHAT is HID?
HID is the next generation into lightings and is now becoming popular alternative to to halogen in automotive lightings. HID or High Intensity Discharge is a type of lamp which produces lights by means of an electric arc between electrodes housed inside and arc tube. This tube is filled with both gas and metal salts. Xenon gas is the mostly commonly used gas component of an HID lamp.
In the early 1990s, HIDs were used in automobile headlamps and is popularly called as Xenon headlamps.
A typical HID can produce a light as much as 3,500 lumens by a power of just more than 35 watts as comparable to about 2000 lumens produced by a halogen bulb with a power of about 70 watts. This lighting characteristics made HID a popular atlernative for halogens in automotive lightings not to mention its longer life span.
