Do you know at which voltage a typical red LED breaks down in reverse? 100V?
[jg]usual is 10, 15, 20 Volts only....for the ones from 1979 in a hemisphere on cylinder plastic molding....
What happens when the diode is charged slowly with a current source of say 0.5mA until it breaks down and it's internal capacitance discharges by avalanche? Will it blink or stay dark in the process?
