Abstract
A series-wired LED light string formed of a plurality of LEDs connected in series with a current limiting resistor. A resistive component is electrically connected across each LED and serves as a shunt to electrically bypass a failed LED to keep the remaining LEDs in the light string fully illuminated. The LED light string has only two wires and is powered by a full wave rectified voltage, generated external to the light string.
