Are they shining brightly inside the device when used to convert ac?
Since diodes emit light(led) and they are also used to convert ac to dc

SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that not all diodes emit light; only light-emitting diodes (LEDs) serve this function. It emphasizes that while diodes can convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), this process does not involve light emission unless specifically using LEDs. Participants are encouraged to explore various types of diodes, with a reference to a Wikipedia page detailing at least eight different types.
