Light Emitting Ceramic Devices

The light emitting ceramic device (LECD) is a patented technology which is used to produce light by the controlled discharge of electrons through special ceramic compounds. Electrons from current flow excite the light phosphors which cause them to emit photons. A metal core of 22 gauge stainless steel is enamelled to provide a coating with specific dielectric properties. Subsequent layers of ceramic materials are used to develop the light emitting device. These devices are sealed in a ceramic coating which results in a very long life light generating device. The resultant devices are energy efficient regarding he conversion of electric energy to light with exceptionally low heat generation.
