What is the working voltage of the various colors of LED chips?

Nov 03, 2021

As we know, different color led crystals has different forward voltage. If we use incorrect voltage, it may cause the led dead after short time using. Such as the red led has voltage 2-2.4vdc, if you power it with 3vdc, the red led will get burnt after short time lighting on. If use 2vdc with white led, the white led will not work at all.

Here is the working voltage range for the different color of leds as far as we know:

UVC 265-280nm& UVB 310-320nm : 5-8vdc

UVA 365-410nm: 3.2-3.8vdc

Blue, green 440-530nm: 3-3.4vdc

Yellow and red, deep red 585-670nm: 2-2.6vdc

Far red and infrared 700-940nm: 1.6-2.2vdc

White led 1600k-30000k: 3-3.4vdc


When you use the leds, please do not use with incorrect voltage range.
