The word '''led'''(in [[lower case]] letters) is the [[past tense]] of the [[verb]] 'to '''lead''''. There is as note about that at [[Lead - led]].

In [[upper case]], however, '''LED''' is a relatively new word, introduced in electronic engineering and such technologies. It is an [[acronym]], standing for ''''L'''ight '''E'''mitting '''D'''iode: a form of transistor that responds to the passage of electric current by emitting light. Many of the little lights that show (or flash) green or red on computer equipment and other pieces of modern technology are made visible by the use of LEDs.
