Which outcome occurs when an LED in a series connected lighting array experiences prolonged negative voltage surpassing its reverse breakdown?

💡 Explanation

When an LED's reverse breakdown voltage is exceeded, impact ionization leads to a rapid increase in reverse current and device damage, because carriers gain enough energy to create electron-hole pairs. Therefore, reverse current surge happens, rather than improved efficiency, as this over voltage destroys the led.
