Are LEDs vulnerable to EMPs?

[LED-holic]

Since many of us depend on flashlights in survival situations, and have multiple LEDs in our BOBs, I wonder if in the event of an EMP attack, would all the unshielded LEDs be rendered useless?

Anyone know?

Should we stock incandescents as backup in case? I'm assuming the basic circuit / design of incandescents would be unaffected by EMP?

I would suggest starting with this thread.

I was wondering when the next one of these threads would pop up.

Perhaps there should be a sticky with all of the threads in it?
