LEDs musings

[Roy Koeppe]

Many household LEDs use many small lamps within them. Maybe up to 50, so if
they're connected in series as I assume, then 50 x 2.2 volts forward drop =
110 volts. Not much fancy power supply is needed? Anyone familiar with state
of design?

Many were sold by Target this last Christmas featuring the Philips brand name for as $3.99. However they were not really suitable for permanent installation.
