Hi,
I am an electronics hobbyist. I have noticed that a common and boring component the Light Emitting Diode has a specific voltage drop across it. For example, a red LED has a voltage drop of 1.7-2 vdc. This is interesting, because it is the same value for the energy of a red photon (1.7-2 electron volts). Perhaps it is possible to generate a specific color of light from a low voltage AC current. Any thoughts?
Currently I am working on constructing such a power source to test it.
