Shapes explained: A guide to LED light shapes

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them. LEDs have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, from indicator lights on electronic devices to large outdoor displays. Their versatility and energy efficiency make them a popular choice for various applications.

Now, let’s explore some common LED shapes:
