Abstract
An LED lighting assembly includes, according to various implementations, mechanisms for protecting the LED lights from voltage or current surges, including hardware that absorbs the strike voltage and hardware that provides a bypass path. The provision of a bypass path in the event of the failure of one or LED lights in an LED string allows the string to be, in effect, 'turned off' in order to protect the remaining LED lights, thereby allowing the healthy LED lights to stay lit.
