You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== LEDs don't NEED ==

"other components to work".
section in question: LEDs usually need electronic support components to function, while an incandescent bulb can and usually does operate directly from an unregulated DC or AC power source.[citation needed]

just remove it because it's wrong and gives a false impression. Or could atleast be worded differently. SOME LEDs require other components to work MORE efficiently, while others don't require additional components to work. Some LEDs are designed for the range of 1.5-4.0VDC range and those will work directly to battery power.. unless components = power supply as well.. [[Special:Contributions/24.19.141.129|24.19.141.129]] ([[User talk:24.19.141.129|talk]]) 00:08, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

:One can build a device with a current regulator inside, or even just a resistor. Many are commonly run of small button cell batteries, (or two or three), relying on the internal resistance of the battery. The claim is wrong for incandescent lamps, as they need a somewhat regulated power source. The whole AC power distribution system is designed to regulate voltage enough for them. (Usually tap switching distribution transformers.) Do you have a reference for the 1.5V to 4.0V LED? [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 08:37, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

== PIV ==

LEDs commonly have a reverse voltage limit in the 5V range. Enough to allow easy multiplexing. For AC operation, you usually need a series silicon diode. A [http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/WP7113SRD-D.pdf typical data sheet is here]. [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 08:40, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

== Reverse voltage and various clarifications. ==

First we might need clarification as to what LED refers to. Is it:
* is it a single crystal (i.e. a single P-N junction)
* is it an electronic component, which in most cases includes a single PN junction but can include more than one (e.g a bicolor LED), or include a resistor for current limitation (hence the rating of some LEDs as 5V for instance).
For the rest of this comment I am going to assume an LED is a single P-N junction.

Regarding reverse voltage: Most if not all LED manufacturers will list an absolute maximum reverse voltage as 5V. Yet, many people are driving LEDs directly from an AC power line (120V or 240V) with a resistor for current limiting. And in this case, an LED is subjected to a reverse voltage of √2 x 240 ≈ 339V at its peak, a much higher value than 5V.
And I have never seen an LED being damaged for that reason. So, I have been trying to figure why there is such an apparent huge discrepancy between what manufacturers recommend and what reality allows. In other words, why do manufacturers list 5V, when you can obviously go much higher, unlike most other absolute maximum ratings which have a much smaller safety margin. I have found a few hints, but nothing that definitely explains that difference. Does anyone know? and should that be mentioned in the article?

:I did used to drive them directly from 120VAC, but with a series silicon diode. I never tested them for PIV, though. If you have a current limited adjustable source, you can measure the reverse breakdown. [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 00:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

== Allen-Cherry 1961 paper - does not report on light emission ==

I've read the 1961 Allen & Cherry paper cited in this article. The sentence claiming that this paper reports on light emission isn't correct - that paper mostly discusses photoconductivity. I'll delete the sentence in a day or so. It is possible that Allen & Cherry did observed light emission around then, but that important claim is not backed up by the reference. [[User:Easchiff|Easchiff]] ([[User talk:Easchiff|talk]]) 03:22, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

:This paragraph of the article has been revised to expand on the GaAsP devices that were the first visible light LEDs to be commercialized. The full history of visible light LEDs is complex, and there is further discussion later in the article. [[User:Easchiff|Easchiff]] ([[User talk:Easchiff|talk]]) 15:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

== "Despite not the inventors of the blue LED..." ==

This proposed wording would require much better sources to include. The term "inventors" is vague and can have many different meanings, so it's not necessarily obvious what is meant here; and "despite" carries a [[WP:SYNTH]]y connection to the award, as though it is somehow of great import that they were awarded it for ''efficient'' blue LEDs. Making that connection would require a source saying something roughly comparable. The article already notes the full history of the development of the blue LED, which makes clear what their contribution was; but highlighting this aspect with a "despite" and categorically declaring them to not be the inventors isn't appropriate without a secondary source. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] ([[User talk:Aquillion|talk]]) 13:51, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
:What I've heard that Shuji Nakamura, Hiroshi Amano and Isamu Akasaki, were awarded the prize '''for the blue LED''', not specificantly '''for the high brightness blue LED'''. and the information before the awards section, is enough to prove that the Nobel prize in physics 2014 was awarded to the wrong people. [[User:זור987|זור987]] ([[User talk:זור987|talk]]) 14:05, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
::That sounds like [[WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS]]. We definitely can't say or imply that the ''award itself was awarded to the wrong people'' unless we have sources supporting that explicitly. Even if they did get it wrong, Wikipedia isn't the place to try and correct that; we're an encyclopedia, so we summarize what other sources say - trying to "prove it" yourself is [[WP:SYNTH]] / [[WP:OR]]. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] ([[User talk:Aquillion|talk]]) 14:47, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
:::
:::There were, many years ago, experiments with SiC. It was extremely inefficient, so didn't count as an actual LED, at least not for commercial use. The ''efficient'' statement is important. That might compare to 0.01% efficient or so. [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 00:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

== Table needed ==

A table is needed showing the emitted colour of an LED versus things such as typical voltage required, doping material used... [[Special:Contributions/2001:8003:E40F:9601:4D90:A972:FCCB:FA19|2001:8003:E40F:9601:4D90:A972:FCCB:FA19]] ([[User talk:2001:8003:E40F:9601:4D90:A972:FCCB:FA19|talk]]) 06:12, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
:
:It mostly doesn't depend on the doping, but the actual semiconductor material. Often they are alloys, such as the early GaAsP, which is a crystal mixture of GaAs and GaP, and with gap somewhere in between. But yes, a table would be nice, at least for the common cases.
