How do you test a two terminal LED?

What will be an ideal response?


Testing a two-terminal LED is easy. First, set your DMM to the diode setting. Connect the positive lead of your meter to the anode (longer) lead of the LED, and then connect the negative lead of your meter to the cathode of the LED. If both leads are the same length, then look for a flat edge on the LED dome; the lead closest to this flat edge is the cathode. The LED should glow. If the LED does not give off light, it is open and needs to be replaced.
