Practical Applications – LED Technology
(Technology Maverick)
For music enthusiasts everywhere, the most modern version of portable music enjoyment is the MP3 player. A small and comprehensive system that holds your personal play lists, keeps track of your calendar, and even allows video function has revolutionized the way in which we are entertained. The MP3 player was designed for a modern society on the go; such technology allows us to enjoy music no matter where we are or what we are doing. The most popular system on the market today is the Apple iPod. The iPod’s infinite success has prompted a variety of companies to get into the game of MP3 technology – including Sonic Blue’s Rio MP3 player.
Traditional incandescent lights produce illumination when electricity is passed through a filament wire inside a glass vacuum tube we know as a bulb. This process results in a lot of heat production that eventually causes the bulb to burn out. Due to the glass construction, they are also very fragile.
The Rio MP3 player is available in a number of different models offered at different price points. They include the Rio Karma, Rio Cali, Rio Chiba, CE2100, Forge Sport, Rio One, Carbon, Fuse Street, and the Nitrus – the first MP3 player to include a one-inch hard drive.
The different method of light production has a number of advantages. LEDs produce less heat when compared to normal bulbs. Heat is wasted energy as it does not contribute to more light production. Less heat production results in higher efficiency. At low energy levels LEDs have a significant efficiency advantage over incandescent bulbs. With current technology, as energy levels rise, the advantage diminishes. There is continuing research into LEDs and their efficiency at high power levels is the focus of this research.
The two key advantages of LED lights are efficiency and durability. One of their most practical uses is for mobile light sources, such as flashlights, that rely on batteries. Flashlights take advantage of LEDs that rarely need replacing and can offer an effective light that lasts 10 times longer on a set of batteries. Hiking headlamps now routinely use LEDs and can provide 150 hours of light around camp on a single set of batteries. Recently the Audi A4 has utilized LEDs for their stylish daytime running lights
