Abstract:
1. A lighting system comprising: a voltage conversion module for converting a high voltage AC electric power source to a low voltage AC electric power source; a controller electrically coupled to said low voltage AC power source at a first connection and electrically coupled to a plurality of light strings at a second connection, said second connection being polarized, said plurality of light strings having a polarized connector at one end for connection to said second connection of said controller, said light strings having a plurality of bulbs containing a first color LED and a second color LED, said LEDs within said bulbs electrically coupled so that a first voltage phase applied to said light string provides a turn-on bias to said first color LEDs within said bulbs and a second voltage phase applied to said light string provides a turn-on bias to said second color LEDs within said bulbs, said controller having a rectifier for accepting said input low voltage AC electrical power source and providing an output DC electrical power, said controller having a switch with a plurality of switch positions including: a first switch position for providing said output DC electrical power at said second connection to said light string in said first voltage phase according to a first rectification provided by said rectifier within said controller; a second switch position for providing said output DC electrical power at said second connection to said light string in said second voltage phase according to a second rectification provided by said rectifier within said controller, and
