Description

A LED lamp is a type of solid state lighting (SSL) that utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a source of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas. LED lamps (also called LED bars or Illuminators) are usually clusters of LEDs in a suitable housing. They come in different shapes, including the standard light bulb shape with a large E*7 Edison screw and MR*6 shape with a bi-pin base. Other models might have a small Edison E*4 fitting, GU5.3 (Bipin cap) or GU*0 (bayonet socket). This includes low voltage (typically *2 V halogen-like) varieties and replacements for regular AC mains (******0 V AC) lighting. Currently the latter are less widely available but this is changing rapidly.
