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.
A light emitting diode (LED) is a solid-state light source, consisting of semiconductor materials that are doped to form a p-n diode junction. When biased in the forward direction, charge carriers, i.e., electrons and holes, flow into the junction, where they recombine while releasing energy in form of a photon.
