LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes as they are sometimes called had their molecules spawned from the earth itself. Once lingering minerals and metals deep within the earth were discovered and shaped by the hands of science during the JFK Space Race to discover and to coax light from these materials where it was never found before. At their core, LEDs are technically semiconductors. In their simplest form the building blocks of all semiconductor materials is simple sand. Silica is purified by the man made process of smelting in a crucible and then grown into crystals by the modern process of pulling.

Through the multiple step process of wafer fabrication, deposition, bonding and encapsulating we end up with a very and simple device. A device well suited to its task. LEDs once energized with electricity produce photons. Photons are the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we call light. It’s almost mystical. To this day there has never been a device more capable of producing light more efficiently with less waste of thermal energy than the LED. Twice the light, half the power.
