Abstract:
1. A lighting system comprising: two or more LED circuits each LED circuit having at least two diodes connected to each other in opposing parallel relation, at least one of which such diodes is an LED; at least one capacitor being connected to and being part of each opposing parallel LED circuit, the capacitor having only one end connected to the opposing parallel LEDs; a driver connected to the two or more LED circuits, the driver providing AC voltage and current to the two or more LED circuits, the driver and the two or more LED circuits forming a driven circuit and the driver and the two or more LED circuits being configured such that any number of LED circuits can be added to or subtracted from the driven circuit so long as the total wattage output of the driver is not exceeded: (a) without significantly affecting a pre-determined desired output range of light from any individual LED; (b) without the need to: (i) change a value of any discrete component; or, (ii) to add or subtract any discrete components, of any of the pre-existing driven circuit components which remain after the change; and, wherein the two or more LED circuits are packaged separately from the driver and the packaged LED circuits include one or more lenses.
