LED stands for light-emitting diode. These diodes are designed specific to produce illumination when an electrical current is run through them. Different materials yield a variety of different colors. LED lights last longer than most other light sources, including fluorescents, and are energy-efficient. While they are small, manufacturers can combine individual diodes into larger arrays to create lighting appliances.

Desk lamps are ideal for LEDs, since they are designed to provide clarity, and light color or warmth is not as important. LED desk lamps are usually short arrays of several LEDs placed close together and aiming downward. They can be connected to a wide variety of lamp designs, but they cannot be used on older lamps with fluorescent or incandescent bases. LED lights do not screw into anything.
Under-Cabinet Lights
Under-cabinet lights are designed to be used in kitchens so that cooks can see what they are doing more easily. Traditionally the most common bulb for these lights was fluorescent, but long bars of LEDs are made for the same purpose. This makes it easier for LEDs to produce enough light for an entire counter.
Spotlights
LED spotlights are more rare than overhead or ambiance lighting, but they are used with plastic cases that take the diffused LED light and concentrate it into a beam powerful enough to serve as a spotlight. Some cities use LEDs as streetlights, but you may find them more easily as landscaping lights (other landscaping LEDs are solar power). High-quality LEDs are important for spotlight appliances.
Electronics
The largest LED appliance industry is led. Almost all electronics use LED lights in some way. The indicator lights that show where power is on or off, what the volume is, whatever features are being used and what current settings are all the perfect size for LED lights. As a result, TVs, , washing machines and even refrigerators tend to use LEDs.
