`& (57) Abstract: An AC LED packageandcircuits are disclosed along with an AC LED driver. The AC LED circuit may include
`©} asfew as one LEDoran array ofanti-parallel LEDs driven with AC power sources and AC LEDdrivers at various voltages and
`frequencies. The AC LEDsare pre-packaged in various forms and materials and designed for mains or high frequency coupling in
`various forms to AC powersources, inverter type drivers or packages. The AC LEDdriveris a fixed frequency driver that provides
`a relatively constant voltage output to different size loads within the wattage limitation of the driver and in somecasesis a direct
`mains power source.
