Abstract
A light-emitting diode (LED) module and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The LED module is supplied through an external voltage source. The LED module includes a bridge rectifying unit, a LED unit, and an integrated circuit (IC) unit. The bridge rectifying unit rectifies the external voltage source into an inner DC voltage source. The LED unit is electrically connected to the bridge rectifying unit and driven through the DC voltage source. The IC unit is electrically connected to the bridge rectifying unit and the LED unit and is supplied through the DC voltage source, thus providing a piecewise constant-current control or a piecewise variant-current control to the LED unit.
