whether gaming enthusiasts these days are busy drooling over which
0:03
multicolored LED peripheral they wish to purchase or defending the ones they
0:07
currently own as the best and the brightest it seems few individuals can
0:12
deny the current drawing power of this particular fashion feature and while
0:17
these days one can find pretty much anything they could desire fitted with
0:21
flashy color changing LEDs it seems like not that long ago we were still talking
0:26
about how cool the changing color scheme
0:29
on the place station moves remote was which was incidentally pretty much the
0:32
last and only good thing anyone ever said about it now the invention of LEDs
0:37
in general or light emitting diodes was a process that began only a few years
0:41
after the turn of the 20th century but didn't really see the light of day until
0:45
a short time after Woodstock when production costs and output capacities
0:49
became more reasonable and although many people today associate LEDs with the
0:54
bright lights and colors that they produce allowing them to generally
0:58
outshine their pred processor the incandescent light bulb the irony is
1:02
that most consumer grade products first utilizing these lights actually produced
1:07
infrared waves that were completely undetectable by the human eye these
1:11
infrared diodes were commonly used in controllers of varying sorts one of
1:16
which many viewers today are likely thankful to have within Arms Reach as is
1:19
evidenced anytime it becomes lost the television remote actually it wasn't
1:24
until the mid90s when further advances were made in our abilities to produce
1:29
visible light that LEDs became feasible for use in things such as Emergency
1:33
Equipment televisions and well just that regular lights so while the construction
1:38
of an average LED cannot be called greater than that of a traditional bulb
1:42
their reduced size power consumption and most importantly savings make them a
1:47
pretty tough competitor at the very least add to this their increased
1:51
lifespan about 3 to 20 times that of
1:54
fluorescent or incandescent bulbs respectively and it seems that LEDs have
1:58
become a shiny Champion among light sources you see instead of heating
2:03
flimsy filaments which have been sheathed in a globe of ultra durable
2:07
Babys safe material such as glass LEDs use two oppositely charged diodes placed
2:12
adjacently on an electrical lead inside a plastic lens which are then
2:16
manipulated by way of a circuit board the addition of current causes
2:20
negatively charged electrons from one end to combine with positively charged
2:24
holes from the other leading the bonding electron to disperse energy in the form
2:28
of visible photon until more recently when manufacturers
2:32
wanted to change the color of the light produced by an LED they simply changed
2:36
the plastic refracting bulb it was set in leaving users who wished for
2:40
Conformity amongst all their products or those who wanted to create specialized
2:44
lighting themes pretty much in the dark that was until someone had the bright
2:50
idea of placing three separate diodes one in each red green and blue within
2:55
the same bulb for those who may be unfamiliar with the TR chromatic theory
2:59
of vision it basically states that the photo receptor cones in our eyes come in
3:02
one of three brands which are based on sensitivities to Long medium and short
3:07
wavelengths to experience the Myriad of colors we see in the rainbow our brains
3:12
interpret these varying color signals and produce a multicolored image like
3:16
many good inventions RGB lighting is reverse engineered from its more complex
3:20
biological counterpart and produces its effect by manipulating the intensity of
3:24
the aforementioned three diodes independently allowing the user to
3:28
choose the desired color so I guess that pretty much settles it
3:32
then things with LED lights are awesome and that goes doubly for ones that are
3:35
color changing well for the most part actually yeah it is worth noting though
3:39
that the cost of an LED bulb versus a standard one can be significantly higher
3:44
and the monetary benefits often don't kick in until long very like very
3:49
longterm Energy savings and replacement costs have been factored in also there
3:55
are still some things LEDs don't do particularly well like creating
4:00
natural light spectrums for things like Nursery operations speaking of light you
4:06
need it for reading right wrong with
4:09
audible.com you can read with your ears which is to say that you can listen to
4:12
any number of their 150,000 actually more than that audio
4:17
books on demand they have titles across all types of literature including
4:21
fiction non-fiction and periodicals with best sellers like unbroken a World War
4:26
II Story of Survival resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillen and Riding
4:30
High in the charts at the moment audiobooks are great to listen to when
4:33
you're driving stuck in traffic on the subway or bus doing tours around the
4:37
house at the gym doing errand shopping or pretty much whatever and for our
4:41
audience members audible is offering a free Audi book to give you a chance to
4:45
try out the service so pretty much all you got to do is head over to
4:49
audible.com tequ sign up for their club
4:52
which actually entitles you to discounts on further audiobooks every month in
4:55
addition to the audio book that you get every month as part of your membership
4:59
and give it a try you get the first one free like I said and I guess that's
5:03
pretty much all there is to it thanks audible thanks to you for watching like the video if you liked it dislike it if
5:07
you thought it was putrid leave a comment if you have suggestions for future fastest posses and mash that
