LEDs (Basic & Programmable WS2812B)

A LED, or light-emitting diode, is a component that generates light using direct current. As electrons flow through the device, they cross a ‘band gap’ and fill ‘electron holes’, emitting photons as they do. The nature of the band gap determines the color of the light. LEDs have many advantages over earlier lightbulbs, including small size, considerable energy efficiency, and much less heat production. This has made them the dominant illuminating technology for most electronic devices, and has enabled LEDs to be used for many, many more applications.
