LEDs

Low-power lights

LEDs are light-emitting diodes—semiconductor devices that produce light when electric current passes through them.

They're far more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than incandescent bulbs, making them standard in screens, indicators, lighting fixtures, and countless electronics: The dashboard LEDs glowed softly in the dark.
