LED light string without additional resistors
An electrical circuit for use as a string of lights in one embodiment includes a rectifier for converting AC into DC; and a plurality of lamps connected in series, each lamp having an LED, and wherein at least one of the lamps each has a Zener diode connected in series with the LED, a positive terminal of the lamp proximate the rectifier is connected to a positive terminal of an output of the rectifier, and a negative terminal of the lamp distal the rectifier is connected to a negative terminal of the output of the rectifier. In another embodiment, the Zener diode is replaced with a resistor. Hence, no resistors are provided externally of the lamp.
