What does an LED bulb consist of? In today’s market we can find different light bulbs from different manufacturers, made in different ways. Here are the main parts of the LED composition.
- LED chip – optimized for automotive use.
- Heat pipe – used to remove heat from the chip. We know several types. The most commonly used are copper conductor or a vacuum-sealed liquid in a tube.
- 360 ° rotable base – base type depends on bulb version (H1, H7, H8 …)
- Intelligent temperature controller – Used to protect the bulb from damage.
- Fan – dissipates heat from the heat pipe into the space. The most powerful bulbs include a double bearing fan which provides higher cooling
- Cooling part – in case of active cooling it contains a fan, in case of passive cooling there is a cooling bank.
- LED decoder – also known as canbus or resistor. Prevents faulty bulb warning light. It may not be included in every type of bulb.
- Connector – depends on the version of the bulb (H1, H7, H8 …).
You should now have clearer information about composition of LED.
