Abstract:
1. An LED series connected light string comprising: a. a plurality of LEDs connectable to an AC power source; b. said LEDs being connected with uniform polarity; c. at least one of said LEDs intended to change output and including a controller; said controller being wired to the at least one LED and which changes the flow through LED, thereby causing said LED to change state in response to switching of the controller; d. a current supplying capacitive energy storage element connected in parallel with said controller; said element supplying current to said controller to maintain said controller operational and preventing it from resetting for lack of power at least for a predetermined period of time when current supplied to the circuit is reverse polarity; and e. wherein said current supplying element are linked to each other and removable substantially simultaneously from the light string, such that the current supplying element is not connected to the circuit without a current passing element in parallel with it.
