Part of the Electronics glossary: An LED light bulb is a solid-state lighting (SSL) device that fits in standard screw-in connections but uses LEDs (light-emitting diodes) to produce light.
Light Bulb Types. LED light bulbs or lamps utilize light-emitting diodes in order to produce light. LED is a âsolid-stateâ technology, which means that the materials used to generate the light are encased within a solid material. Practically, this translates into a lamp with a rated life much longer than those using non-solid-state technology (such as incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent).
