Abstract

The idea of the replacement of all of the old technology of electric lamps or light bulbs (current flow through 'filament' to product light) by the new advanced technology of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps, whereby lower down the current consumption, generates lesser heat and prolong the life-span of the lamp.

Description

THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL LIGHT BULB SYSTEMS TO ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) LAMPS

The idea of this innovation is to replace all conventional incandescent light bulb drive by "filament" to the advanced technology component named Light Emitting Diode (LED), to generate light.

The conventional incandescent light bulb which drive by the material of "filament" produce "great heat", high current consumption and less life-span in which you need safer wiring and reliable circuit system to operate a conventional incandescent light bulb because of the higher current needed.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) is an electronic component with semi conductor chips located in the center of the bulb as shown on Figure 2 (inside a Light Emitting Diode). The chip has two regions separated by a junction, the p region (positive electric ions or charges) and the n region (negative electric ions or charges). The junction acts as a barrier to the flow of electrons between the p and the n regions. Only sufficient applied voltage to the semi-conductor chip allows current flow and the electrons to cross the junction into the p region.

When a voltage is applied and the current start to flow, electrons in the n region have sufficient energy to move across the junction into the p region. Once in the p region, the electrons and the positive charges, due to the mutual coulomb forces of attraction between opposite electric charges, "re-combine". Each time an electron recombines with a positive charge; electric potential energy converts into electromagnetic energy. For each recombination of a negative and a positive charge, a quantum of electromagnetic energy emits in the form of a photon of light with a frequency characteristic of the semi-conductor material. Light emitted from a Light Emitting Diode (LED) is in very narrow spectrum of light. It also generated minimal heat, low current ponsumption, and longer life-span.

The innovation will now be described in detail by way of illustration, in which:-
