This is the diagram for a eco friendly lighting fixture.
There are three main components to RTG CEL.
1. Wavelength Specific Emitter. This
device will emit a specific color of light when a specific amount of
electrical energy is applied. Often but not limited to LED. The idea is
to only emit the wavelengths or colors of light that you need. LEDs are
good for this because they usually have a very finite and specific
color range per emitter. Keep in mind choosing the proper spectrum or
color of light is very important for maximum efficiency.
2. Load Limiting Device. You
can't just hook up any emitter to any source of electricity. Without a
device to control the electrical current the emitter would draw too
much power and burn up. In order to find the right kind of load limiter
we will need to look at the electrical characteristics of the emitters
and the type of electricity. There are many options to control the
electricity such as LED drivers and other digital devices but the
smoothest and simplest way to drive any LED is with a properly rated
resistor. For instance if we are using a 12 volt direct current
electrical system and a 10 watt deep red LED that has characteristics
of 10.5 volts at .7 amp then we would need a 10 watt 2.2 ohm resistor
in between the power source and LED to ensure proper function. Here is
