In an earlier post, I read that LEDs generally operate on the same current, but differ in their voltage drops depending on the wavelength. In terms of energy consumption, I had the impression that "low-energy" colors like red and orange need less power to provide the same brightness of, say...a blue LED.
Is this assumption correct? And how does each color rank in terms of energy consumption or transresistance? Also, what is the verdict on white LEDs?
Basically, I'm curious because I'm working on a circuit that uses a very small battery and I want to know if I should replace its white LED with some other type.
