The primary characteristic of a high-brightness LED is its increased luminosity over that of the classic LED.
The high-brightness LEDs (HBLED) have many uses. They are found in display panels which must be visible in broad daylight. They are increasingly used for vehicle lights and railroad signals, as well as in cold-source, industrial and other interior illumination.
High-brightness LEDs are identical to classic LEDs (white and color), except that they can handle higher current loads without the need for a heat sink. Luminosity is expressed in lumens or candela.
The choice of a high-brightness LED requires attention to detail. Some manufacturers express luminosity in lumens, others in millicandela (mcd). The latter seems to yield higher numbers as a result of using the conversion factor 1 candela = 1 lumen/steradian. This exaggerates the candela figure when the emission angle is small, which is often the case with LEDs.
