Dear Komrades,
Being a total hobo, I would like to build my own L.E.D. flashlight. Before I can proceed, I would like to better understand the following LED ratings:
LUMINOUS INTENSITY
VIEWING ANGLE
WAVE LENGTH
I realize that the intensity on most LED's decreases as viewing angle increases. This sounds like common sense as the beam of light widens so the intensity decreases proportionally. But what in the world is WAVE LENGTH? And what are the benefits of having shorter/longer wavelength?
Thanks
