Abstract
An LED module comprises: an insulating substrate in plate form; first main and sub terminals for connection to an external circuit formed near the first side of the insulating substrate; second main and sub terminals for connection to an external circuit formed near the second side opposite to the first side; three or more connecting wires formed on the insulating substrate for connecting LEDs continuously aligned at a distance from each other in series; LEDs individually connected between the connecting wires adjacent to each other and connected in series in a same direction; and a first passing wire formed on the insulating substrate for electrically connecting the first sub-terminal to the second sub-terminal, wherein a first connecting wire located on one side is electrically connected to the first main terminal, and a second connecting wire located on the other side is electrically connected to the second main terminal.
