LED History And How To Make Your Own

We’re sure you’ve heard of the light-emitting diodes (LED) and already know the benefits of using them from indicator lights to big commercial displays that will get you stunned. Only using 10-percent of the energy light bulbs use and lasting 30 times longer, LEDs have become a real option when it comes to lighting. That’s why fellow geeks at MAKE Magazine are trying to teach us a little history. Who invented it, how it was developed, how to use it and more to it, they’re teaching us how to make our own LEDs at home. Sounds like fun and believe me It’s not that hard. [via Core77]
