Entry #27: New LEDs



A team from Florida State University has recently created a new type of LED that is brighter, cheaper, and easier to make. The new LED they created has a brightness of level of 10,000 candela (the unit used to measure how bright a light is) while current LED technology has a brightness level of 400 candela. It is a pretty big leap how much brighter their new LED is. The materials used in the creation are also cheaper and easier to make which will cut down on manufacturing costs significantly. This will make LED products much cheaper if the new technology is implemented.
