Abstract
An apparatus for powering a light-emitting diode (LED) is provided including: a circuit board having an input portion, a power portion, a protection portion, and an output portion; the input portion of the circuit board including an alternating current line and a neutral current line, where the alternating current received across the alternating current line and neutral line supply two distinct, alternative paths, where each of the two distinct alternative paths include a combination of capacitors, inductors, and rectifiers to mitigate signal noise; the power portion of the circuit configured to receive power from the input portion of the circuit along the two distinct, alternative paths, to regulate the current received from the two distinct, alternative paths, and to provide power to an LED driver; and the protection portion of the circuit may be configured to mitigate voltage surges and to regulate the voltage supplied to the LED driver.
