This has probably been posted before but haven't found it on a search.

You can check Craig's site. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
LED FAQ

Do you think I'm any wiser after visiting that site? No! (But thanks anyway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif )

It doesn't really say what material the LED's are made of or whether they are solid or hollow. It doesn't mention WHY they give out light when the current is applied.

Any other answers gratefully accepted. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif

OK, now I get it! Thanks, the "How stuff work" site gives a much clearer explanation. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif
