Subject:Re: Question about LEDs From:Melissa Fisher <mfisher -at- AUTOMATEDLOGIC -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 11 Aug 1998 14:53:42 -0400
All of the LEDs on our products are red, so when we describe them, we
usually say something like "the LED turns on" or "the LED lights." In the
case where the frequency of the LED's flashes is important, we use the term
"blinks" or "flashes" (as in, "two flashes per second").
