And also aside from that, its variety of colors available can clarify the shapes or letters to be displayed and more, making it suitable also for industrial settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LEDs also have many advantages over conventional incandescent light.

However, in 1962, a French scientist named Nick Holonyak discovered a way to make red LEDs using gallium arsenide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1993, Japanese scientist Shuji Nakamura discovered a way to make LED lamps from gallium nitride with higher efficiency. With this innovation, the use of LED lamps has begun to spread widely in a variety of applications including domestic and highway lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LED lights today have been used all over the world because of their ability to generate light without spending a lot of energy. LEDs are also very stable and durable, which makes them a popular choice for road lighting applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see the brief summary of the history of LED lights below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1927:<\/strong> Oleg Lesev, a Russian inventor reports the creation of LED and publishes theories on his findings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1952:<\/strong> Professor Kurt Lechovec tests some of Losevs theories, then he goes on to explain the first light-emitting diodes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1958:<\/strong> The first green LED was invented by Egon Loebner and Rubin Braunstein.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1962:<\/strong> The first red LED was invented by Nick Holonyak, this also the first on the visible spectrum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1964:<\/strong> The first LED on the early computer\u2019s circuit board was implemented by IBM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1968:<\/strong> Hewlett Packard (HP) starts incorporating LED into its calculators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1971: <\/strong>Edward Miller and Jacques Pankove created the blue LED<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1972:<\/strong> The first yellow LED was invented by American Electrical Engineer, M. George Craford.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1986: <\/strong>Using magnesium, Herbert Maruska and Walden C. Rhines from Stafford University build a functional blue LED. establishing the benchmark for the future of LEDs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1993: <\/strong>Scientists Hiroshi Amano and Isamu Akaski create a high-grade gallium nitride for blue light-emitting diodes. Through this, Shuji Nakamura created the first high-brightness blue LED which quickly developed into white LEDs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2002:<\/strong> White LED for household use becomes easily available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2008: <\/strong>LED lights start to become popular in schools, offices and hospitals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2019:\u00a0 <\/strong>LED lights are the main source of lighting, replacing the halogen and fluorescent bulbs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/benefits-of-led-lights\/\">7 Benefits of LED Lights<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you go the history of LED lights in one bite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While being popular in the 21st century, who might have guessed that this invention had a long and interesting journey before being one of the most chosen lighting types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the LED lights are considered safer and much more energy-efficient lighting types, the safety aspects of every LED product still must be tested before entering the Indonesian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, that\u2019s why in Indonesia, the LED must be certified by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/\">SNI certification<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SNI certification is a series of regulations to ensure that every product and service sold, marketed and distributed in Indonesia is within Indonesian standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes the LED lights, as to achieve the SNI certification, the LED lights must undergo a series of rigorous tests to determine its safety and also its quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, not only is it for the customer\u2019s peace of mind, the SNI certification is also quite beneficial for business owners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As having an SNI certification for your LED product means that your product is already complying with Indonesian standards and regulations.
