摘要

Light Emitter Diode, more commonly known as LED's, are semiconductor electronic components that can transform electrical energy into light, unlike conventional lamps. LED has a bipolar component, when polarized, allows the passage of electric current creating light. Modern lamps use LED in their formation, which release less heat, use less energy, and are more economic than incandescent and fluorescent. Besides present more durability than the others, LED lamps do not heat up the environment and their disposals do not attack the environment. The association of environmental and economic advantages makes this technology attractive to consumer, although the cost of acquisition is higher than the other lamps models available in market. The verification of luminous flux and energy efficiency tests were realized in this study, beyond an environmental analysis. The obtained results proved the potential of LED technology due to other analyzed lamps, especially economic and environmental issue as previous studies analyzed.
