An AC-driven LED circuit 10 includes a first basic circuit 12 having a first branch 14 and a second branch 16 which connect at first and second common points 18, 20 wherein the common points 18, 20 provide input and output for an AC driving current. Each circuit branch includes two LEDs 26, 28 or 30, 32 connected in opposing series relationship such that either the output or input of each LED in the branch join at branch junctions 34, 36. Improvement in performance and scalability is provided by adding n diodes to a given basic circuit and x cross connecting circuit branch diodes (40, 44) and providing one or more basic circuits (15) in series and or parallel. The basic circuits can be packaged and incorporated into AC LED lighting elements capable of integration with lighting devices or systems. |
