8918 LEDs - Spacers, Standoffs

LEDs, or light emitting diodes, have been around for nearly a century. However, it was only relatively recently that LEDs made their way into the application field. LEDs are now being used for a wide range of practical applications, such as lighting, displays, and signalling. One of the most common ways to incorporate LEDs into an application is by using spacers, standoffs and other mounting hardware. In this article, we will look at 8918 LEDs, their application field and working principle.

What are 8918 LEDs?

8918 LEDs are a particular type of LED designed for use in a variety of applications. They have a wide viewing angle and higher luminous flux than other types of LEDs, making them ideal for producing lighting or other displays. Due to their wide viewing angle, 8918 LEDs can be used for a variety of applications, such as, but not limited to, automobile optics, architectural lighting and street lighting.

Spacing and Standoff Applications

In order to use 8918 LEDs in a particular application, it is necessary to use adequate spacing and standoffs. Spacing and standoffs provide an ideal mount for the LED, allowing it to emit light in the desired direction while at the same time minimizing light spillage. The exact spacing and standoff requirements depend on the specific application, but generally the goal is to maintain a consistent distance between the LED and any surrounding surfaces/objects.In the case of automotive lighting, the spacing is typically fixed due to strict standards. For example, the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has a recommended spacing of 4mm for their LED assemblies. The exact spacing requirements will depend on the specific application and the LED type.

Working Principle

The working principle of 8918 LEDs is relatively straightforward. When a small amount of electrical current is applied to the LED, it will emit light in the visible spectrum. The level of brightness depends primarily on the amount of electrical current applied to the LED. This makes 8918 LEDs an ideal choice for applications requiring a wide variety of light levels, such as automotive lighting or architectural lighting.

Conclusion

The 8918 LED is a versatile type of light emitting diode that can be used for a variety of applications, including automotive lighting, displays, and signaling. In order to use 8918 LEDs effectively, it is necessary to use adequate spacing and standoffs to minimize light spillage. The working principle of the 8918 LED is relatively straightforward; when electrical current is applied to the LED, it emits visible light.
