Is LED the Same Thing as Plasma?
A colleague asked me a simple question: if LEDs and plasma both make light when electricity is applied, are they basically the same thing?
In this video, I break down the difference between LED light emission and plasma light emission in plain language. They may look similar from the outside, but the underlying physics is very different. I talk about electronic transitions, why both systems produce photons, and why that does not make them the same thing.
I also touch on what makes plasma more flexible and tunable, and why LEDs are often more stable, cooler, cheaper, and easier to run. This is…
