NettetAnswer (1 of 3): Well, yes and no. The LEDs are of course rectifiers, so you can’t do it without a rectifier, each LED being one. But they don’t really like to be used to block negative voltages; they have poor reverse blocking characteristics. Generally speaking you don’t run LEDs reverse biase... NettetYou’re rectified voltage is going to be higher than the RMS voltage by about 40 volts and the Rcl was not designed for continuous operation. The average power being …
Bypassing 8-function Christmas light LED controller
NettetYour LED Christmas lights are flickering because they aren’t built with inline rectifiers. These full-wave rectifier circuits (diode bridges) flip the lower half of the input electrical waveform which results in a higher rate of flicker that virtually disappears to the naked eye.
