LED technology

Semiconductor light source

LED technology uses light-emitting diodes—semiconductor devices that produce light when electric current passes through them.

LEDs consume far less energy than incandescent bulbs and last much longer, making them standard for screens, lighting, and indicators.

The stadium upgraded to LED technology to cut energy costs.
